Answer:
Diego is correct.
He has correctly divided 1 in groups of .
Step-by-step explanation:
The question 'How many groups of 5/6 are in 1?' means that we need to divided 1 into groups of .
When we form groups from a given total, we divided the total by the size of the group.
If we are dividing number of people in groups of
number of people, then the expression to find the number of groups formed can be given as:
⇒
For this question the data given is:
So, the number of groups formed can be given as:
⇒
When divisor is a fraction, then we multiply the reciprocal of the divisor with the dividend.
⇒
⇒
In order to convert fraction to mixed number we will divide numerator with denominator and then write the quotient as whole number, remainder as numerator and the denominator remains as it is.
On dividing 6 by 5, the quotient =1 and remainder =1. Thus the mized number is:
⇒
Thus, there are or
groups in 1. This matches with Diego's answer and hence he is correct.
<h3>Trina uses 3.44 or 
pints of white paint</h3>
<em><u>Solution:</u></em>
Given that,
Trina uses 8.6 pints of blue paint and white paint to paint her bedroom walls
3/5 of the amount is blue paint, and the rest is white paint
From given,
3/5 of 8.6 pints is blue paint
Thus, 2/5 of 8.6 pints is white paint
<em><u>How many pints of white paint did she use to paint her bedroom walls? </u></em>
Thus she uses 3.44 or 17.2/5 pints of white paint
