Answer

Explanation:

Step1: Find the ratio of red - to - white wax in the original mixture

The original ratio of red wax to white wax is $\frac{12}{5}= 2.4$.

Step2: Calculate the ratios for each option

Option A:

The ratio of red wax to white wax is $\frac{10}{24}=\frac{5}{12}\approx0.42$.

Option B:

The ratio of red wax to white wax is $\frac{48}{12} = 4$.

Option C:

The ratio of red wax to white wax is $\frac{13}{6}\approx2.17$.

Option D:

The ratio of red wax to white wax is $\frac{36}{15}=\frac{12}{5}=2.4$.

Option E:

The ratio of red wax to white wax is $\frac{60}{25}=\frac{12}{5}=2.4$.
