Question

5. 25 it takes gallons of paint to paint a fence. How much paint is needed for 3/5 of the fence?

Answer 1

15 gallons

Explanation:

1/5 of the fence would be 5 gallons, because 25/5 is 5, so to find how much paint for 3/5, we have to multiply 3 and 5 which gives us 15. We need 15 gallons of paint to paint 3/5 of the fence

Hope it helped!

Answer 2

If 2.5 gallons of paint are needed for the entire fence, then for 1/5 of the fence we need:

2.5 gallons / 5 = 0.5 gallons

To find how much paint is needed for 3/5 of the fence, we can multiply 0.5 gallons by 3:

0.5 gallons * 3 = 1.5 gallons

Therefore, 1.5 gallons of paint are needed for 3/5 of the fence.
