Question

Painting a shed requires 4 2/5 gallons of paint how much paint is required for 3 sheds

Answer 1

Explanation:

To find out how much paint is required for 3 sheds, you can multiply the amount of paint needed for one shed by the number of sheds:

Amount of paint for 1 shed = 4 2/5 gallons

Number of sheds = 3

Amount of paint for 3 sheds = (Amount for 1 shed) × (Number of sheds)

Amount of paint for 3 sheds = 4 2/5 gallons × 3

Amount of paint for 3 sheds = 12 6/5 gallons

Now, let's simplify the result:

12 6/5 gallons = 12 1/5 gallons

So, 12 1/5 gallons of paint is required for 3 sheds.
