Question

Jessii Vee is 1 5/8 gallons of paint to paint her room so he has 5/6 gallons of paint. How many more gallons of paint does she need

Answer 1

Answer:

3 1/2 gallons of paint

Step-by-step explanation:

1 5/8 - 5/6 = x

Turn the mixed number into an improper fraction:

1 5/8 = 13/8 = x

13/8 - 5/6 = x

make the denominator the same:

13/8 * 3 = 104/24

5/6 * 4 = 20/24

Subtract:

104/24 - 20/24 = 84/24

Simplify:

84/24 divided by 6 = 14/4

14/4 divided by 2 = 7/2

Turn into a mixed number:

3 1/2
