Question

An artist has 3/4 of a gallon of paint to pour into containers. The artist pours 1/8 of a gallon of paint into smaller containers. How many 1/8 gallon containers did the artist use?

Answer 1

5/8 left over because you have to transfer 3/4 to have a common denominator of 6/8 then subtract 1/8 and you get 5/8 as your answer
