Wayne is mixing paint.
He makes six quarts of brown paint by mixing equal quantities of
yellow paint and violet paint. The violet paint is made from one-
third red paint and two-thirds blue paint.
2. How much blue paint does he use?
quart(s)

We know that when Wayne mixed the yellow and violet paint, he obtained 6 quarts of brown paint. Since he mixed equal quantities of them, we have 6/2 = 3 quarts each of yellow and violet paint.

Of the 3 quarts of violet paint, 2/3 is blue, so we multiply 3 by 2/3:

3 * (2/3) = 6/3 = 2

Thus, the answer is 2 quarts of blue paint.
