Question

wally uses his own recipe for mixing glittered paint. he recently mixed 3 1/3 cup of glitter to make 2 1/2 gallon of paint. how much glitter does wally use in each gallon of paint.

Answer 1

4/3s per gallon

Explanation:

3 and 1/3= 10/3

So you know that in the whole 2 and 1/2 gallons of paint, there are 10/3s cups of glitter.

So that means you have to split the 10/3 cups into the 2 and 1/2 gallons.

Thus, in one gallon there is 4/3s.

One gallon 4/3s+ One gallon 4/3s+One half of a gallon 2/3s=10/3s

4/3+4/3+2/3=10/3

So each gallon has 4/3s cups of paint
