Step-by-step explanation:

We need  to convert all units to cups

1 1/2 quart blue

3/2 quarts blue

1 quart = 4 cups

3/2 quarts * 4 cups/ quart = 12/2 = 6 cups

1/2 gallon white

1 gallon = 16 cups

1/2 * 16 cups/1 gallon = 8 cups

Blue:     Green :     White    : total

6 cups:   2 cups :   8 cups : 6+2+8

6               2            8             16

We need a total of 100 cups

100/16 =6.25

Multiply each number by 6.25

Blue:      Green :      White    : total

6*6.25      2*6.25   8*6.25   16*6.25

37.5            12.5         50          100

We need

37.5 cups of blue

12.5 cups of green

50 cups of white
