To find out how many fluid ounces of red paint Isabelle will need to make 3 fluid ounces of purple paint, we first need to calculate the ratio of red to blue that she used to make the original mixture.

Given that she added 2/5 (or 0.4) fluid ounces of red paint to 3/5 (or 0.6) fluid ounces of blue paint to make 1 fluid ounce of purple paint, we can set up a proportionate equation:

(red fluid ounces) / (blue fluid ounces) = (purple fluid ounces) / (desired fluid ounces)

(0.4) / (0.6) = 1 / 3

Now, let's solve for the unknown value, which is the fluid ounces of red paint needed for 3 fluid ounces of purple paint.

(0.4) / (0.6) = (x) / (3)

Cross-multiplying the equation:

0.6x = 3 * 0.4

0.6x = 1.2

Dividing both sides of the equation by 0.6:

x = 1.2 / 0.6

x ≈ 2

Therefore, Isabelle will need approximately 2 fluid ounces of red paint to make 3 fluid ounces of purple paint.
