Question

Tracy bought 2 cans of paint and 7 1/3 pints of special paint additive formulated to reduce mildew. Before painting her house, she divided the additive equally between the 2 cans of paint. How much additive did she put in each can?

Answer 1

Answer:

3 2/3 pint

Step-by-step explanation:

First break down the mixed number to divide (into 7 and 1/3)

7 divided by 2 is 3.5 (Convert 3.5 to sixths)

1/3 divided by two is 1/6

1/6 + 3 3/6= 3 4/6 OR 3 2/3

Hope this helps! :)
