Answer:

hope this helps ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Step-by-step explanation:

Henry must use 6 pints of red paint if he uses 9 pints of yellow paint.

This is true since the original ratio was 2:3 (red paint to yellow paint)

You would just need to multiply by 3 to get 6:9.

You can also re-check this by dividing by three to get 2:3 again.

This means that 2:3 and 6:9 are equivalent ratios

Henry needs to use 6 pints of red paint if he's using 9 pints of yellow paint, becuase if we multiply the ratio 2:3 by 3x we get 6:9, and altogether without the ratio, he'll have to use 6+9=15 pints of paint to get the specific shade of orange..............Hope u understand, I'm also bad at maths T-T
