Question

About 42% of a paint mix is white. A painter orders 18 gallons of paint mix. How much of it is white

Answer 1

7.56 liters

Explanation:

Total amount of paint mix ordered by the painter = 18 gallons

42% of the paint mix is white.

Representing this as a fraction,
`\[(42)/(100)\]` of total paint mix is white.

To find the amount of white paint, we need to multiply this fraction with the total amount of paint mix.

`\[= (42)/(100) * 18\]`

`\[= (756)/(100)\]`

`7.56 liters`
