Question

1f 3/4 gallon of paint can cover 1/8 of the fence how many gallons will he need to paint the whole fence

Answer 1

He will need 6 gallons of painting to paint the whole fence.

Explanation:

Since 3/4 gallon of paint covered 1/8 of the fence, we have to multiply 3/4 by 8 in order to find the number of gallons that will paint the whole fence (because 8 x 1/8 = 1)

`(3)/(4)` x
`(8)/(1)` =
`(24)/(4)` = 6

Hope this helps!
