    Answer: 28.8 ounces of red paint

    Step-by-step explanation:

    The total amount of paint created the first time Mango mixed colors was:

    = 24 + 16

    = 40 ounces of purple color

    For 40 ounces of purple, 16 ounces of red was needed. Proportion is therefore:

    = 16/40

    If one wants 72 ounces of purple therefore:

    = Proportion of red used * 72 ounces

    = 16/40 * 72

    = 28.8 ounces of red paint
