Question

13 cans of paint with 5/6 liters of paint in each were used to paint 4 identical cars. How can you calculate the amount of paint used for each car? Select all that apply.
(A) 5/6 ·4÷13 (B) 5/6 ·13÷4 (C) 5/6 ÷4·13
(D) 5/6 · 13/4 (E) 5/6 ÷13·4 (F) 5/6 · 4/13

Answer 1

Answer:

(B) 5/6 ·13÷4

(C) 5/6 ÷4·13

(D) 5/6 · 13/4

Step-by-step explanation:

Amount of paint per can = $\[\frac{5}{6}\]$ liters.

Number of cans used to paint 4 cars = 13

Total amount of paint used for 4 cars = $\[13 * \frac{5}{6}\]$ liters.

= $\[\frac{13 * 5}{6}\]$ liters.

= $\[\frac{65}{6}\]$ liters.

Total amount of paint used for 1 car = $\[\frac{65}{6} \div 4\]$ liters.

= $\[\frac{65}{24}\]$ liters.

Of the given options, option B,C and D correspond to the same value.
