Question

Alejandra tiene una cubeta de 1 1/2 litros de pintura que le sobraron de su último mural. Para no cargar toda la cubeta, ella dividirá la pintura en frascos de 1/4 de litro. ¿Cuántos frascos necesitará?

Answer 1

The correct answer is 6 jars can be used

Explanation:

According to the given scenario, the calculation of the number of jars needed is shown below:

The 1 1 ÷ 2 liters means = 3 ÷ 2 liters

And, the paint is divided into 1 ÷4 liter jars

So, the number of jars needed is

= (3 ÷ 2) ÷ ( 1 ÷ 4)

= (4 × 3) ÷ 2

= 6 jars needed

Therefore the number of jars needed is 6 jars
