Answer:

7 statues

Explanation:

Step 1: Divide the paint remaining by the paint required by each statue (We are doing this because
(1)/(8) is 1 statue, so to find how many we need, divide
(7)/(8) by that.)


(7)/(8)/ (1)/(8)\\\\(7)/(8)* (8)/(1)\\\\=(7)/(1)\\\\= 7

Therefore, Diana can paint 7 statues.
