Answer 1

Just divide 2430 by 9 then divide 6

Answer 2

Tavon should take the two cans of paoint to classroom number 45.

Explanation:

Method 1:

First divide 2430 by 9.

`(2430)/(9) =270`

Now, divide the result by 6.

`(270)/(6) =45`

Method 2:

Division of 2430 by 9 and then by 6 is equivalent of dividing 2430 by (9 × 6)

So,
`(2430)/(9(6)) =(2430)/(54)`

= 45

Hence, Tavon should take the two cans of paoint to classroom number 45.
