Beth filled 72 jars with paint. If each jar holds 1 pint of paint, how many gallons of paint did beth use?

2 answers:

6 0

Since there are 8 pints in a gallon, we would divide 72 by 8 because each jar represents one pint. After dividing we would get 9! Beth used 9 gallons

Answer:

The number of meters Robert will beat Sam is 12 meters.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

When Paul crossed the finish line of a 60-meter race, he was ahead of Robert by 10 meters and ahead of Sam by 20 meters. Suppose Robert and Sam continue to race to the finish line without changing their rates of speed.

Find:

the number of meters by which Robert will beat Sam

Step 1 of 1

When Paul finishes, Robert has run 60-10=50 meters and Sam has run 60-20=40 meters.

Therefore, when Robert and Sam run for the same amount of time, Sam covers $\frac{40}{50}=\frac{4}{5}$ of the distance that Robert covers. So, while Robert runs the final 10 meters of the race, Sam runs $\frac{4}{5} \cdot 10=8$ meters.
