    Answer with Step-by-step explanation:

    Mixture A-

    Blue Paint - 5 cups

    White Paint - 12 cups

    Ratio of blue paint to white paint=5:12

    Mixture B-

    Blue Paint - 6 cups

    White Paint - 6 cups

    Ratio of blue paint to white paint=6:6=12:12

    (on multiplying numerator and denominator by 12 i. e. 6/6=12/12)

    Mixture C-

    Blue Paint - 4 cups

    White Paint - 12 cups

    Ratio of blue paint to white paint=4:12

    Mixture D-

    Blue Paint - 5 cups

    White Paint - 6 cups

    Ratio of blue paint to white paint=5:6=10:12

    (on multiplying numerator and denominator by 12 i. e. 5/6=10/12)

    The denominator of the ratios are same in each mixture now, to determine the lowest ratio we have to see the numerator with smallest value which is 4

    Hence, Mixture C has the lowest ratio of blue paint to white paint
