Given that;

Adalyn uses 1/5 cup of blue paint for every 2/5 cup of red paint to make purple paint.

$(1)/(5)\text{ cups of blue paint }\rightarrow(2)/(5)\text{ cups of red paint}$

For 1 cup of red paint, the amount of blue paints Adalyn will use is;

$(1)/(5)\text{ cups of blue paint }\rightarrow(2)/(5)\text{ cups of red paint}$
