Answer 2

0.22 gallons of paint steve uses for each birdhouse .

Explanation:

As given

`Steve\ uses\ (8)/(9)\ gallon\ of\ paint\ to\ paint\ 4\ identical\ bird\ houses.`

`Paint\ used\ for\ each\ birdhouse = (Total\ Paint\ uses)/(Number\ of\ birdhouse)`

`Paint\ used\ for\ each\ birdhouse = ((8)/(9))/(4)`

`Paint\ used\ for\ each\ birdhouse =(8)/(9* 4)`

`Paint\ used\ for\ each\ birdhouse =(2)/(9)`

= 0.22 gallons

Therefore the 0.22 gallons of paint steve uses for each birdhouse .
