Question

About 42% of a paint mix is white. A painter orders 18 gallons of paint mix. How much of it is white

Answer 1

Answer:

7.56 liters

Step-by-step explanation:

Total amount of paint mix ordered by the painter = 18 gallons

42% of the paint mix is white.

Representing this as a fraction, $\[\frac{42}{100}\]$ of total paint mix is white.

To find the amount of white paint, we need to multiply this fraction with the total amount of paint mix.

$\[= \frac{42}{100} * 18\]$

$\[= \frac{756}{100}\]$

$7.56 liters$
