Step-by-step explanation:

I guess the question is how many ounces are needed per paint. right ?

the colors are mixed in a ratio 3:5.

what that tells us is that there are 8 units of the whole paint (3+5), and yellow gets 3 out of these 8, and blue 5 out of these 8.

the total is 32 ounces.

so, each of the 8 units represents

32/8 = 4 ounces.

and now we know :

yellow has 3 units

3×4 = 12 ounces

blue has 5 units

5×4 = 20 ounces
