Henry needs 2 pints of red paint and 3 pints of yellow
paint to get a specific shade of orange. If he uses 9 pints
of yellow paint and wants the same orange color, how
many pints of paint will he need altogether? Explain how
you know
Henry will need a total of 15 pints of paint. The 3 pints of yellow were multiplied by 3 to get 9 total, so 2 pints of red would be multiplied by 3 to get 6 total.
