Answer :

From the question, we are told that to make shade of paint, we need the following parameters

Mix 4 quarts of green paints with 2/3 cups of black paint

To produce a Jasper Green paint

We need 4quarts of green paints and 2/3 cups of black paint mixed together

4 quarts will require 2/3 cup of black paints

x quarts will require 4 cups of black paints

Mathematically,

4 ======== 2/3

x ======== 4

Introduce cross- multiplication

4 * 4 = x * 2/3

16 = 2x/3

cross multiply

16 * 3 = 2x

48 = 2x

Divide both sides by 2

48/2 = 2x/2

x = 48/2

x = 24

4 cups of black paints will require 24 quarts of green paints

The answer is 24 quarts of green paint
