Question

Kenneth is painting his kitchen and bathroom. He bought 5 gallons of paint to paint the two rooms. He uses 1/4 of that amount to paint the bathroom and the rest to paint the kitchen.

Answer 1

He used 1.25 gallons for the bathroom, and he used 3.75 gallons for the kitchen.

Explanation:

1/4=25%=.25

Multiply 5 by .25

5*.25=1.25

Subtract 1.25 from 5

5-1.25=3.75

1.25 gallons for bathroom

3.75 gallons for kitchen
