Question

Mr. Hampson had 2/3 gallon of paint to pour into containers. If he poured 1/8 gallon of paint into each container until he ran out of paint, how many containers had paint in them, including the one that was partially filled?

Answer 1

6, 5 full and 1 partially

Explanation:

this question is asking how many 1/8ths are in 2/3rds?

so, 2/3 ÷ 1/8 ⇒ 2/3 × 8/1 ⇒ 16/3 ⇒ 5 1/3
