Question

George is painting fences at the zoo. It takes 2 2/3 cans of paint to paint each fence. If George paints 9 fences, how much paint will he use?

Answer 1

Answer: 24 cans

Explanation:

Given

George has 9 fence

It requires
`2(2)/(3)` cans to paint a fence

So, 9 fence required

`\Rightarrow 9* 2(2)/(3)\\\\\Rightarrow 9* (8)/(3)\\\\\Rightarrow 3* 8=24\ \text{cans}`

9 fence requires 24 cans
