Answer:

3/16 gallons 0.1875 gallons

Explanation:

To determine the number of wooden signs that can be painted with one gallon of paint, divide the total amount of gallons of paint by 16

Total wooden signs that can be painted with one gallon of paint = 3/ 16

3/16 can be expressed as a decimal by dividing 3 by 16

decimal = 0.1875 gallons
