Question

Jessie makes 85 gallons of paint mixing 34 gallongs of red 0aint with 51 gallons of white paint. What part of every gallon is red paint? Select the bars to show how much of tge gallon is red paint.

Answer 1

Dividing the amount of red paint by the total amount gives you a fraction equal to 40 percent.

`34 / 85 = 0.4`

`0.4 = 40\%`
"Select the bars to show how much of the gallon is red paint"
Count the total number of bars available to fill out/select, then multiply your total by 0.4 and fill out/select the corresponding number of bars to represent the amount of red paint.
