Question

12. Lydia is painting flower vases. Each vase takes 3⁄16 of a quart of paint. She has 21⁄2 quarts of paint. How many flower vases can she paint? A. 131⁄3 B. 3111⁄16 C. 151⁄6 D. 101⁄2

Answer 1

As we may be dividing fractions...

`(21)/(2) / (3)/(16) = (21)/(2) * (16)/(3) = (7)/(1) * (8)/(1) = 56`
