Complete question is;
Jackson has to repaint some classroom bookcases. He has 2 gallons of paint. All the bookcases are the same size and each requires 2/5 gallon of paint. How many bookcases is he able to repaint with the amount of paint?
Answer:
5 books
Explanation:
Jackson has 2 gallons of paint
Now, for us to find the number of bookcases the Jackson will be able to repaint if each bookcase requires 2/5 gallon, we will just divide 2 by 2/5
Thus;
Number of book cases Jackson will be able to repaint = 2 ÷ 2/5
Thus gives; 2 × 5/2 = 5 books
