Question

George is painting fences at the zoo. It takes 2 2/3 cans of paint to paint each fence. If George paints 9 fences, how much paint will he use?

Answer 1

Answer: 24 cans

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

George has 9 fence

It requires $2\frac{2}{3}$ cans to paint a fence

So, 9 fence required

$\Rightarrow 9\times 2\dfrac{2}{3}\\\\\Rightarrow 9\times \dfrac{8}{3}\\\\\Rightarrow 3\times 8=24\ \text{cans}$

9 fence requires 24 cans
