Question

4 teachers share 3 gallons of paint. How much paint does each teacher get?

Answer 1

The answer is 0.75 gallons

Answer 2

Just divide

3/4 = 0.75

4 teachers, and only 3 gallons of paint
1 less gallon of paint, so each teacher should get less than a whole. 

0.75 gallons of paint per teacher
