AMAn art teacher has 9 3/5 gallons of paint to pour into containers. If each container holds3/5 gallon, how many containers can they fill?Answer type: Mixed numberSubmit Answerattempt 1 out of

Respuesta :

So they can fill 16 containers.

1) If an art Teacher has

9 3/5 gallons

Each container holds

3/5 gallons

2) Firstly, let's turn that mixed number into an improper fraction

9 3/5 = (5 x 9+3) /5 = 48/5

Given that each container holds 3/5, then let's divide

48/5 ÷ 3/5 = 48/5 x 5/3 =16

If we hadn't turned

9 3/5 ÷ 3/5 = 16

3) So they can fill 16 containers.
