Question

An artist has 8 gallon-sized buckets of paint. The artist uses the paint from the buckets to fill pint-sized cans. What is the greatest number of

cans the artist can fill using the paint from the buckets?

Answer 1

64 cans

Explanation:

Given

`Gallon = 8`

Required

Determine the equivalent in pints

The standard unit of conversion;

`1 gallon = 8 pints`

Multiply both sides by 8

`8 * 1\ gallon = 8 * 8\ pints`

`8\ gallons = 64\ pints`

Hence, the artist will need 64 cans
