Question

Four gallons of paint are used to paint 20 chairs and 5 small tables. If each chair and table used the same amount of paint, how many gallons are used to pain each piece of furniture? between what two wholes numbers lie?

Answer 1

0.16 gallons of paint

the number lies between 0 and 1

Explanation:

20x + 5x = 4

25x = 4

x = 0.16

So, each piece of furniture will use 0.16 gallons of paint.
