Question

Patricia is painting dollhouse. Each dollhouse she paints uses 1/6 of gallon of paint. One can of paint contains 1/3 of a gallon. How many cans of paint does she need to paint 8 dollhouses?

Answer 1

Hi Jhenny, 1/3 gallon is equal to 2/6 gallon. If 1/6 gallon paints one dollhouse, it will take 8/6 gallons to paint 8 dollhouses.

8/6 = 4/3, or Patricia will need 4 cans of paint since each can of paint will paint 2 dollhouses.
