Questioned asked:

How much paint Mr. Cole used after 7 days?

Solution:

M.r Cole used can of paint in one day = $\frac{1}{2}$

M.r Cole used can of paint in 7 days = $\frac{1}{2} \times7$

                                                             = $\frac{7}{2}$

                                                             = $3\tfrac{1}{2}$

Therefore, M.r Cole used $3\tfrac{1}{2}$ can after 7 days.
