Question 1173659: A man takes a five - litre tin of white paint , a three-liter tin of yellow paint and a two-litre tin of blue paint and mixes the contents together in a bucket. If he now fills the original three tins with the mixture , how much white paint will there be in two - litre tin? Answer by Solver92311(821) (Show Source):
One liter. There are a total of 10 liters of paint, half of which are liters of white paint, so when you mix them all together, half of the mixture has to be white, and therefore two liters of the mixture contains one liter of white.
