Answer:
less than 1 1/2 gallons
Step-by-step explanation:
1/3 + 1/6 = 1/2, so the sum of the three cans is more than 1 by the difference between 1/5 and 1/6. That difference is 1/30 gallon. The sum is 1 1/30 gallons, which is less than 1 1/2 gallons.

A suitable common denominator is 2·3·5 = 30. Then the sum of the fractions is ...
1/3 + 1/5 + 1/2
= 10/30 + 6/30 + 15/30
= 31/30 = 1 1/30 . . . . . less than 1 1/2
In decimal, 1/3 ≈ 0.333, 1/5 = 0.200, 1/2 = 0.500, so the sum is ...
0.333 +0.200 +0.500 = 1.033
which is less than 1.5.
Answer:
3 3/5 bags
Step-by-step explanation:
We have to find the surface area of the floor of the cage first.
The cage measures 1 yard wide by 6 feet long.
1 yard = 3 feet
The floor of the cage is rectangular, so, the surface area of the floor of the cage is therefore:
3 * 6 = 18 square feet
One bag of shavings covers 5 square feet.
To find the number of bags we need to cover the floor, we divide the surface area of the floor by the number of bags per square feet.
The number of bags needed for the floor of the cage is therefore :
18 / 5 = 3 3/5 bags
