Answer:

5 1/2

Explanation:

We have 11 liters of paint, and we need to figure out how many cans we can fill.

We need to divide the 11 liters by the 2 liters that each can holds or 11 ÷ 2.

11/2 = 2/2 + 2/2 + 2/2 + 2/2 + 2/2 + 1/2

= 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1/2

= 5 1/2

We can fill 5 1/2 cans

Hope this helped :>
