Explanation:

Since we have given that

To make the perfect shade of pink Shawna needs 3 ounces of red paint and 1 ounce of white paint ,

So, the ratio becomes

3:1

We need to find to make 1 gallon of pink paint ,

As we know that

So,

Amount of red paint needed to make 1 gallon of pink shade is given by

[tex]\frac{3}{4}\times 128=\frac{384}{4}=96\ fluid\ ounces[/tex]

And,

Amount of white paint needed to make 1 gallon of white shade is given by
