Question

Erin is painting statues. She has 8/9of a liter of paint remaining. , Each statue requires 1/10

Answer 1

Answer:

8 statues, with a bit of paint left over

Step-by-step explanation:

Divide the 8/9 liter of paint by the quantity of paint needed per statue, to obtain the number of statues Erin can paint:

 8/9 liter                    8      10

------------------------- = ----- * ----- statues  =  80/9 statues.  

1/10 liter / statue        9      1

80/9 statues comes out to 8 8/9 statues.  8 statues can be painted, but Erin will either have to settle for partially painting one more statue or not using  up the last remaining bit of paint.
