Question

Jing bought 4 cans of paint and 1/2 of a pint of special paint additive formulated to reduce mildew. Before painting his house, he divided the additive equally among the 4 cans of paint. How much additive did he put in each can?

Answer 1

Answer: There is 8 additive he can put in each can.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of cans = 4

Part of a pint of special paint add to reduce mildew = $\dfrac{1}{2}$

We need to find the additive that he put in each can.

So, the number of additive would be

$4\div \dfrac{1}{2}\\\\=4\times 2\\\\=8$

Hence, there is 8 additive he can put in each can.

Answer 2

Half of pint = 1 cup / 8oz
8 ÷ 2=2
2 oz per bucket
