Answer:

About 1 gal  

Step-by-step explanation:

When you are estimating with fractions, you should round them off to the closest integers that you can work with in your head.

⅓, ⅕, and ½ are all close to zero, but that's absurd, because Neil clearly has some paint .

Instead, let's estimate that ⅓ gal + ⅕ gal  make about ½ gal.

They still have the other ½ gal, and  

½ gal + ½ gal = 1 gal.

Neil has about 1 gal of paint.

Factor 3/4 out of 3/4z + 6
Alenkasestr [34]
ANSWER

\frac{3}{4} z + 6 =  \frac{3}{4} (z +  8  )


EXPLANATION

We want to factor
\frac{3}{4}
out of

\frac{3}{4} z + 6

The first term is already having a factor of
\frac{3}{4}
The constant term which is the second term is not having a factor of
\frac{3}{4}
so we need to use a trick of multiplying and dividing by the same factor to obtain,



\frac{3}{4} z + 6 =  \frac{3}{4} z +  \frac{3}{4}  \times  \frac{6}{ \frac{3}{4} }


We can now factor
\frac{3}{4}
out of the right hand side to obtain,

\frac{3}{4} z + 6 =  \frac{3}{4} (z +  \frac{6}{ \frac{3}{4} } )
Let us rewrite the right most fraction using the normal division symbol.

\frac{3}{4} z + 6 =  \frac{3}{4} (z +  6 \div  \frac{3}{4}  )




We simplify to obtain,

\frac{3}{4} z + 6 =  \frac{3}{4} (z +  6  \times  \frac{4}{3}  )



This further gives us,


\frac{3}{4} z + 6 =  \frac{3}{4} (z +  2 \times  4  )



\frac{3}{4} z + 6 =  \frac{3}{4} (z +  8  )
