Question

An art teacher had 3/4 gallon of paint to pour into containers. She poured 1/8 gallon of paint into each container until she ran out of paint, how many containers had paint in them?

Answer 1

Answer: 6

Explanation:

From the question, we are informed that an art teacher had 3/4 gallon of paint to pour into containers and that she poured 1/8 gallon of paint into each container until she ran out of paint.

The number of containers that had paint in them will be gotten by dividing the total amount of paint by the number of paint poured in each container. This will be:

= 3/4 ÷ 1/8

= 3/4 × 8/1

= 24/4

= 6

6 containers had paint in them
