Answer:

1/2 a cup of red paint

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this,  arrange the equations as follows;

If 2/3 of yellow paint requires = 1/3 cup of red paint,

then 1 cup of yellow paint would require = ?

= [tex]=\frac{(1 * 1/3)}{2/3} \\ \\ =\frac{1}{3} *\frac{3}{2}[/tex]

The 3s cancel each other and you remain with [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex]

Therefore 1 cup of yellow paint would need 1/2 a cup of red paint.
