If 5 over 6 gallon covers 1 over 4 of the house then how much paint is needed for the entire house (5)/(6) / (1)/(4)

Question

If 5 over 6 gallon covers 1 over 4 of the house then how much paint is needed for the entire house


`(5)/(6) / (1)/(4)`

Answer 1

If 5/6 gallons covers a quarter of the house, then you would need 4 times as much paint:

`(5)/(6) * 4`
Which is 20/6 gallons or 3 and 1/3 gallons
