Answer 4

It's right if you mean "a certain paint is to be MADE BY MIXING 3 parts yellow to 2 parts blue"

However, the problem you stated was "a certain paint is to be MIXED WITH 3 parts yellow to 2 parts blue", which implies to me that you're starting with a 3rd color and mixing it with blue and yellow.
