Answer:


1 (1)/(4) \ liters

Explanation:

Given that:

Claire uses 2 liters of paint to cover 1 3/5 doors

Then in order for her to paint 1 door, She will need:

2 L = 1 3/5 door

x L = 1 door


x (L) = (2 L * 1 door )/( 1 (3)/(5) \ door)


x (L) = (2 L )/( 1 (3)/(5) )


x (L) = (2 L )/( (8)/(5) )


x (L) = (2 L* 5 )/( 8 )


x (L) = (10 \ L )/( 8 )


x(L) =1 (1)/(4) \ L
