Angela and you are painting a room. Angela has 2 1/2 gallons of blue paint and Ryou has half as much white paint. It will take 2
3/4 quarts to cover each wall. If each wall is painted only one color, how many walls will be blue and how many will be white? How much paint will be left over?
Ryou has 1/2 of what Angela has = 1/2*10 = 5 quarts of white paint.
Each wall requires of paint. After coloring; Blue colored walls = (10)/() = 3 walls with 7/11 quarts of paint remaining. White colored walls = (5)/() = 1 wall with 9/11 quarts of paint remaining
The answer is 9 you have to multiply 1/4 three times which gives you 1/64 then you take 576 and multiply it by 1/64 which gives you 9. Hope this helps.
