Question

Steven combines 7.49 liters of red paint with 6.26 liters of blue paint to make purple paint. He pours the paint equally into 4 containers, and has 0.43 liters of paint left over. How many liters of paint are in each container?

Answer 1

Answer:

3.3075 liters of paint

Step-by-step explanation:

7.40 (red paint) + 6.26 (blue paint ) = 13.66 (purple paint)

He pours 13.66 liters of purple paint equally into 4 containers and has 0.43 liters left.

x + x + x + x = 13.66 - 0.43

4x = 13.23

x = 13.23/4

x = 3.3075
