Paint costing $44.80 plus a 6% tax would be:
44.80*1.06 = 47.488 Rounded to $47.49
Your answer would be 3/4 (three quarters).

This can be simplified even further because both the numerator (6) and the denominator (8) can be divided by 2.
So-- 6 divided by 2 would be <u>3</u>, and 8 divided by 2 would be <u>4</u>. 3/4 cannot be simplified even further so this would be your final answer.
I hope this helped you out a bit :]
The answer is 11 my friend :)
