5 + 3 + 12 = 20.

Now divide 720 by 20 and we get 36.... so, every unit is 36

5 units = 180 (5 x 36)

3 units = 108 (3 x 36 )

12 units = 432 (12 x 36 )

432 + 108 + 180 = 720

If a 720 ml container holds a mixture of red yellow and white paint in a five a three and a twelve ratio how much more red paint than yellow paint is in the mixture?

There are 5 parts red, 3 parts yellow and 12 parts white. Therefore there is a total of 20 parts. The total is 720ml, so each part is 720/20ml = 36ml. So there are 36*5ml of red (180ml) and 36*3ml of yellow (108ml). So there are 180-108 = 72ml more red than yellow.
