Question

Alicia is mixing paint. She has a bucket that contains 5 1/2 pints of paint. She adds 1/4-pint containers of paint to the bucket until she has at most 8 3/4 pints of paint in the bucket.

Answer 1

13 times?

Explanation:

From 5 1/2 to 8 1/2 she needs to add 3 * 4 = 12 times since 1 paint = 4 pint

then she just needs to add 1 more to become 8 3/4

12 + 1 = 13

The order is 0 -> 1/4 -> 1/2 -> 3/4 -> 1
