Answer 1

Answer: 4.5 gallons

Explanation:

From the question, Chanasia has 11.25 gallons of paint and she wants to use 2/5 of the paint to paint her living room.

The number of gallons of paint that Chanasia will use would be calculated by multiplying the fraction by the total gallons of paint. This will be:

= 2/5 × 11.25

= 0.4 × 11.25

= 4.5 gallons
