5 tubes / 3 posters
5/3 = 1 and 2/3 tubes per poster
1 and 2/3 + 1 and 2/3 + 1 and 2/3 = 3 and 6/3 or 5 tubes

With fractions there is no need for rounding

5÷3=1.7
Donna used about 1.7 tubes of glitter for each poster.
I'm pretty sure this is it because when you divide this you get 1.6 repeating and you get 1.7 when you round it.
