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.

The ratio of boys to girls in a group is 4:1. If there are 33 more boys than girls, work out how many people there are in total.
MissTica

Total number of people is 55

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Step 1:

Given ratio between boys and girls is 4:1. Let number of girls be x, so number of boys = 33 + x

⇒ 4x + x = x + 33 + x

⇒ 5x = 33 + 2x

⇒ 3x = 33

⇒ x = 11

Step 2:

Find total number of people.

33 + 2x = 33 + 22 = 55
