Noah bought 3 cans of paint and 1/2 of a pint of special paint additive formulated to reduce mildew. Before painting his house, he divided the additive equally among the 3 cans of paint. How much additive did he put in each can?

Explanation:

Amount of additive in each can

= Total amount of additive / Number of cans

= (1/2 of a pint) / (3)

= 1/6 of a pint.

Noah put 1/6 of a pint of additive in each can.
