Question

Three and three-eighths (3) buckets of glue are used on a floor. A bucket holds

4.5 gallons. How many gallons of glue are used?

Answer 1

6.2 gallons are used!!! hope this helps

Answer 2

To find out how many gallons of glue are used, you can multiply the number of buckets by the number of gallons each bucket holds:

3 and 3/8 buckets * 4.5 gallons/bucket = ?

First, convert the mixed number 3 and 3/8 to an improper fraction:

3 and 3/8 = 8/8 + 3/8 = 11/8

Now, multiply:

(11/8) * 4.5 gallons/bucket = (11/8) * 4.5 gallons

To multiply fractions, multiply the numerators and denominators separately:

(11 * 4.5) / 8 gallons

Now, calculate the numerator:

11 * 4.5 = 49.5

So, the total gallons of glue used are:

49.5 / 8 gallons = 6.1875 gallons

Rounded to the nearest tenth of a gallon, approximately 6.2 gallons of glue are used.
