Question

Mr.Moss had 4 gallons of paint . He painted 8 doors.how many benches can he paint with the paint that is left?

Answer 1

Answer:

6 benches.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Solve for paints that is left after painting 8 doors with 4 gallons of paint.

Gallons of paint used = x

$\frac{\frac{1}{2} }{2} = \frac{x}{8}$

$2x = \frac{1}{2} *8$

$2x = 4$

$x = 2$

Mr. Moss use 2 gallons of paint to paint his 8 doors. Now he have 2 gallons of paints to paint his benches.

2. Solve for how many benches he can paint with 2 gallons of paints.

y = number of benches.

$\frac{\frac{1}{3} }{1} =\frac{2}{y}$

$\frac{1}{3}y = 2$

$y=2*3$

$y = 6$

He can paint 6 benches.
