To find out how much paint Ralph will store in each container, we need to divide the total amount of paint he has by the number of containers he wants to store it in.
We know that Ralph has 3/4 gallon of paint, and he wants to store it equally among 5 containers, so we can set up an equation:
3/4 ÷ 5 = ?
To divide fractions, we can multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction:
3/4 ÷ 5/1 = 3/4 x 1/5
When we multiply these fractions, we get:
3/4 x 1/5 = 3/20
So Ralph will store 3/20 gallons of paint in each container.
