Answer 2

You know that Tyler painted
`(9)/(2)` square yards area with 3 gallons of paint and want to know many gallons of paint does it take to paint each square yard of wall. Then

`(9)/(2)` square yards - 3 gallons

1 square yards - x gallons,

mathematically this is proportion:

`((9)/(2))/(1)=(3)/(x),\\ \\(9)/(2)x=1\cdot 3,\\ \\x=(3)/((9)/(2))=3\cdot (2)/(9)=(2)/(3).`

Answer: it takes
`(2)/(3)` gallons of paint to paint each square yard of wall.
