Question

Mr. Phillips is mixing paint for his art

class. How many 6-ounce bottles can
he fill with the quantities of paint shown
at the right? Explain.
Paint
-64 ounces of blue
12 ounces of yellow
-32 ounces of white

Answer 1

Mr. Phillips can fill 18 bottles of paint

Explanation:

The first thing you should do in this case is to know how many ounces of paint you have:

Painting = 64 + 12 + 32 = 108

Then, to calculate the number of 6-ounce bottles you must divide the total number of ounces by 6:

n = (108) / (6) = 18
