~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

At the beginning, the small bucket was 1/3 full.


It means that the volume of the blue paint in the small bucket was   =   of 
the volume of the large bucket.


Hence, the total volume of the paint in the large bucket after pouring is

     +  =  =   of the volume of the large bucket.

Solved.
