To complete the statement about the ratios, you need to determine how the amount of white paint is related to the amount of red paint based on the ratio provided.
If we have a ratio of red paint to white paint, we can express it as:
\[ \text{Red Paint} : \text{White Paint} = 1 : n \]
Where \( n \) is the multiplier that we need to identify from the provided options (2, 6, 4, 12).
To find \( n \), we can analyze the ratios:
- If the ratio is 1:2, then the amount of red paint is multiplied by 2 to get the amount of white paint.
- If the ratio is 1:6, then the amount of red paint is multiplied by 6 to get the amount of white paint.
- If the ratio is 1:4, then the amount of red paint is multiplied by 4 to get the amount of white paint.
- If the ratio is 1:12, then the amount of red paint is multiplied by 12 to get the amount of white paint.
Without knowing the specific ratio provided in the table, I cannot directly select one of the multipliers. However, if we represent the situation generically:
The amount of red paint is always multiplied by \( n \) to get the amount of white paint, where \( n \) is the factor associated with the specific ratio provided in your data (which appears in options: 2, 6, 4, 12).
If you can provide the specific ratio from the table, I can help determine the correct multiplier.
