Answer:

1 gallon of paint weighs 11 pounds.

Explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Amount of paint bucket purchased = 5 gallons.

Weight of 5 gallons of paint = 55 pound

We have to evaluate the weight of 1 gallon paint.

Weight of 1 gallon paint =


=\frac{\text{Total weight}}{\text{Amount of paint}}\\\\=(55)/(5)\\\\=11\text{ pounds per gallon}

Thus, 1 gallon of paint weighs 11 pounds.
