Question

Ingrid has $27 to buy oil paints for her painting class. Each tube of paint

costs $4. How many tubes can she buy? Do not include units in your answer.​

Answer 1

6

Explanation:

each tube of paint(one) = $ 4

(x) tube of paint = $ 27

Therefore,

x= (27/4)

= 6.75 tubes ; which is equivalent to 6 whole tube of paint

Answer 2

6

Explanation:

27/4= 6 3/4

That doesn't work because we need whole numbers.

24/4=6

That is the solution. For $24 we buy 6 tubes for $4 each and we have $3 left over.
