Question

Angela and Ryou are painting a room. Angela has 2/1/2 gallons of blue paint and Ryou has half as much white paint. It will take 2/2/4 quarts to cover each wall. If each wall is paonted obly one color, how many walls will be blue and how many will be white? How much paint will be left over

Answer 1

Blue paint - 2/1/2 = 1 gallon
White paint - 1/2 gallon
1 wall - 1/4 quart of paint
As 1 quart = 1/4 gallon, one gallon of paint is enough to cover 16 walls.
the walls can be either white or blue and the leftover will be 1  and 1/4 gallon paint.
