Question

Michelle is painting wooden blocks. he has 11/12 of a quart of paint each block needs 1/6 of a quart to paint. How many blocks can he paint?

Answer 1

Answer:5

Explanation:

Since Michelle (he ? ) has 11/12 quarts of paint, and need 1/6 per quart to paint, we do 11/12 / 1/6 = 11/2, or 5.5. We cannot paint .5 of a block, so Michelle can only paint 5 quarts.
