    0.75 gallons

    Step-by-step explanation:

    As the statement indicates that Latrell wants the bedroom ceiling to be 85% blue and 15% white and you know that he needs 4.25 gallons of blue which represents the 85%, you can use a rule of three to find the amount that represents the 15% to know the gallons of white that he needs:

    4.25 gallons → 85%

    x ← 15%

    x = (4.25*15) / 85

    x=0.75

    According to this, the answer is that if Latrell needs 4.25 gallons of blue, he needs 0.75 gallons of white.
