Jason has already used 3 1/1 cans of paint painting furniture. He is painting chairs that use 8 1/1 cans of paint.

Let the total cans of paint used be represented by p.
Let the number of chairs painted be represented by c.
An equation that represents this scenario is: p=8 1/1c+3 1/1

What is the total number of cans used if he paints 24 chairs?
Answer as a decimal.

(8 1/1 = 9) \ 9 x (24) = (216) + (3 1/1 = 4) \ (4)= 220.

"\" Represents "Or" (Ex. 2 Or 2.0)

Your answer is 220. :)

Your fractions don't make sense

3 1/1 is 4
8 1/1 is 9

To find the total number of cans of paint used if Jason paints 24 chairs, we can use the equation given: p = (8 1/1)c + 3 1/1.

First, we need to convert the mixed numbers to improper fractions:
8 1/1 = (8*1 + 1)/1 = 9/1
3 1/1 = (3*1 + 1)/1 = 4/1

Now we can substitute the values into the equation:
p = (9/1)c + 4/1

To find the value of p when c = 24, we substitute c = 24 into the equation:
p = (9/1)(24) + 4/1

To simplify this expression, perform the multiplication and addition:

p = (9/1)(24) + 4/1
p = 216/1 + 4/1
p = 220/1
p = 220

Therefore, the total number of cans used if he paints 24 chairs is 220 cans.

Since c represent the number of chairs, we can subtract 24 by c and solve for p.

p=8 1/1(24)+3 1/1=
