A cabinet maker used 3/4 gallons of varnish on 10 cabinet doors. At this rate, how many quarts of varnish are required for 25 cabinet doors?

The answer is 3 1/4 because if you multiply 3/4 x 2 2 as in the 20 equals 2 3/4 but the extra 5 you add .5 which equals 3 1/4 so it equals 3 1/4

Answer:

It need 7.5 quarts of varnish

Explanation:

varnish
(3)/(4) = 10 doors

So, 6 quarts of varnish and is going to be 20 doors so to 25 doors is going to be 7.5 quarts.

The varnish measure comes in quarts so we don't need to divide each unit by 4

3⇒10

x⇒25


x= (25*3)/(10) = 7.5
