Answer

24 quarts of green paint should be mixed with 4 cups of black paint.

That is (96 cups)

Step by step explanation

Jasper Green mix 4 quarts of green paint with 2/3 cups of black paint.

Let's convert 4 quarts into cups.

1 quart = 4 cups

4 quarts = 16 cups

Here mix 16 cups of green paint with 2/3 cups of black paint.

Let's use the proportion

Green paint                      Black paint

16                                          2/3

x                                            4

16/x =2/3 divided by 4

Cross multiplying, we get

16*4 = 2/3 x

64 = 2/3 x

x = 64/(2/3)

x = 64 * 3/2

x = 192/2

x = 96 cups

96 cups of green paint should be mixed with 4 cups of black paint.

We can covert 96 cups into quarts by dividing by 4

96/4 = 24 quarts

24 quarts of green paint should be mixed with 4 cups of black paint.
