Answer 2

6000 milliliters

Explanation:

First, we are told that she fills ⅓ of the container with red paint.

This means, the capacity of the container left is ⅔.

She fills the rest of the container (⅔ of the container) with blue paint of 4 liters.

This means that ⅔ of the entire container is 4 liters. We can use this information to find the total capacity of the container:

Let x be the capacity of the container in liters. Therefore:

⅔ of x = 4 liters

=> x = 4 * (3/2)

x = 12/2 = 6 liters

6 liters in milliliters is (6 * 1000) milliliters = 6000 milliliters.

Gina made 6000 milliliters of paint.
