Apainter uses 4 gallons of paint to paint each apartment in a building. if the painter has 45 gallons of paint, how many apartments can be painted completely? how much paint will be left over?

Hi there!

A painter uses 4 gallons of paint to paint each apartment in a building. If he uses 45 gallons of paint, how many apartments can be painted?

Alright, so to find how much apartments can be painted with 45 gallons of paint, using only 4 per apartment, we need to divide 45 gallons on 4 gallons.

45 ÷ 4 = 11.25

The answer will be 11 apartments, with 1/4 of paint left.

Hope this helped!~

step-by-step explanation:

(s)he  is right it would be 5.5% because it is smaller than 15.5% or anything smaller than 15.5% in general

a is the correct
