For a certain shade of pink paint, the ratio of white paint to red paint is 5 to 2. Explain how to use the strip diagram shown below to find at least 6 different quantities of white and red paint that will be in the ratio 5 to 2 (and so will make the same shade of pink). In each case, describe the amount of pink paint that will be made. Include at least 3 mixtures where the quantities of paint are not both whole numbers of units. (You may choose any units you like, such as gallons, liters, pails, or something else.)

No diagram shown. Cannot copy and paste here.
White paint have 5 strips going across and under neath that red paint has 2 strips going across
How about starting with 10 units white to 4 units red? You can change the value of the units for variation, e.g., pints, gallons, etc.

Mrs. Lutz is mixing pink paint for art class. The ratio for making pink paint is 5 gallons red to 3 gallons white. If you are going to use 9 gallons of white, how many gallons will you need TOTAL?
