A mixing ratio for automotive paint is given as 8:2:5—base product : thinner : hardener. The thinner is added to aid in the flow of the paint through the spray gun, and incorrect amounts can result in runs or dry patches in the paintwork. The hardener is to help with faster drying times, but too much or too little of it can alter suggested curing periods.Determine how much of each component is needed if you want to make 17.5 gallons of paint. Round your answer to the nearest thousandth, if necessary.
