Answer: 103/125

Step-by-step explanation:

As the question says that It takes 4.12 gallons of paint to paint a fence. How much paint is needed for 1/5 of the fence?

so we have to multiply to get the amount of gallons of paint it is used to paint 1/5 of the wall.

First we can't multiply decimal number with fraction so we will convert the decimal number into a fraction so 4.12 in fraction = 103/25.

Thus we will multiply 103/25 x 1/5 to get our answer. So when we multiply we get 103/125.

So our answer will be 103/125.
