Question

MARCELLA DIVIDED 40.8 GALLONS OF PAINT AMONG 8 CONTAINERS. HOW MUCH PAINT IS IN EACH CONTAINER?

Answer 1

40.8/8 = 5.1. There were 5.1 gallons of paint in each container.

Answer 2

For this case, the first thing we must do is define variables:

a: total amount of galores:

b: total amount of containers

r: gallon rate per container

We have then:

Substituting values we have:

`r = (40.8)/(8)`

`r=5.1`
