Question

A small can of paint was 1⁄5 of a liter. That was enough to fill 1⁄4 of a paint

sprayer. How many cans of paint would it take to completely fill the sprayer?

Answer 1

4 Small Cans of Paint

Explanation:

1/5 of the small can fills 1/4 of the paint sprayer.

That means we need to fill 3/4 of the can to completely fill it up.

We would need a total of 4 1/5ths to fill up the sprayer.

So one of the equations you could use is :

`(1)/(5)`×4

Which is also-

`(1)/(5) \f}`+
`(1)/(5)`+
`(1)/(5)`+
`(1)/(5)`

The answer to that would be
`(4)/(5)` liters. So you would need a total of 4 small paint cans to fill up the sprayer.

Hope this Helps! :)
