To find out the amount of paint Janet uses to cover each canvas, we need to divide the total amount of paint she has by the number of canvases she covers.
Given that Janet has 4 9 gallons of paint and she uses it to cover 3 canvases, we can use division to find the answer.
So, let's divide the total amount of paint (4 9 gallons) by the number of canvases (3).
4 9 gallons รท 3 canvases = 1 8 gallons.
Therefore, Janet uses 1 8 gallons of paint to cover each canvas.
