Question

It takes 1 and 1/3 can of paint to paint 2/5 room how many cans of paint will take to paint the whole room ?

What fraction of the room can you paint with 1 can of paint?

Answer 1

- 3 1/3 cans

- 3/10 of the room

Explanation:

If you divide 1 1/3 by two, you'll find how much it takes to paint 1/5 of the room.

1 1/3 * 1/2 = 2/3.

Then we can multiply that by 5 to find 5/5 of the room, or 100%.

2/3 * 5 = 10/3 or 3 1/3 cans.

To find how much of the room you can paint with one can, we can divide 1 by 3 1/3, or 10/3.

1 / 10/3 = 0.3 or 3/10 of the room.

Answer 2

To paint one room, it will take 3 5/15 or 3 1/3 cans of paint

One can of paint can paint 4.5/15 of the room

Explanation:

4/3 of a can = 2/5 of a room

20/15 of a can = 6/15 of a room

40/15 of a can = 12/15 of a room

50/15 of can = 15/15 of a room

To paint one room, it will take 3 5/15 or 3 1/3 cans of paint

4/3 of a can = 2/5 of a room

20/15 of a can = 6/15 of a room

15/15 of a can = 4.5/15 of a room

One can of paint can paint 4.5/15 of the room
