Question

If 5/6 gallons of paint covers 1/4 of the house, then how much paint is needed for the entire house?

Answer 1

Explanation:

1) If
`(5)/(6)` is needed to cover
`(1)/(4)` than we need 3 more:
`(5)/(6)(3)=(15)/(6) =2(3)/(6) gallons</p><p>2) But we still need to add the beginning [tex](5)/(6)`:
`2(3)/(6)+(5)/(6)=2(9)/(6)=3\frac{3}6}=3.5`
