you have 3/4 gallons of paint. Each piece of wood you want to paint requires 2/11 gallon of paint. How many pieces of wood can you paint completely?
Now it's your turn. I'll be glad to check your answer.

Your answer is right -- but it does not answer the question.
Your answer needs to be in complete pieces of wood.
you can paint 4 pieces of wood
Right! :-)
To find out how many pieces of wood you can paint completely with 3/4 gallons of paint, you need to divide the total amount of paint by the amount of paint required per piece of wood.
First, let's convert the mixed fraction 3/4 to decimal form. To do this, divide 3 by 4:
3 ÷ 4 = 0.75
So, you have 0.75 gallons of paint.
Next, determine the amount of paint required per piece of wood, which is 2/11 gallon.
Now, divide the total amount of paint by the amount of paint required per piece of wood:
0.75 ÷ (2/11) = 0.75 * (11/2) = 8.25
Therefore, you can paint 8 pieces of wood completely with 3/4 gallons of paint.
