Fill in the blanks below Victoria plans to repaint some classroom bookcases. She has 2 gallons of paint. All of the bookcases are the same size and each requires one eigtht
gallon of paint. How many bookcases will she be able to paint?
To solve, we'll need to A multiply 1/8 by 2, B we'll need to divide 2 by 1/8 because we know the SIZE of the groups and the ,A number of groups, B total gallons of paint, but we don't know the , A Number of groups, B total gallons of paint
A) The number of groups is 2 gallons of paint divided by 1/8 gallon per bookcase:
2 / (1/8) = 2 * (8/1) = 16
B) The total number of bookcases Victoria will be able to paint is 16.
To solve the problem, we need to multiply 1/8 by 2 and then divide 2 by 1/8.
Step 1: Multiply 1/8 by 2:
1/8 * 2 = 2/8
Step 2: Simplify the fraction:
2/8 can be simplified to 1/4 by dividing both the numerator and denominator by 2.
Step 3: Divide 2 by 1/8:
2 ÷ 1/8 = 2 * 8/1
2 * 8 = 16
Therefore, Victoria will be able to paint 16 bookcases with 2 gallons of paint.
To solve this problem, we need to determine how many bookcases Victoria will be able to paint using the given information.
To find the number of bookcases, we need to divide the total gallons of paint (2 gallons) by the amount of paint required for each bookcase (1/8 gallon).
A) Multiply 1/8 by 2:
1/8 * 2 = 2/8 gallon of paint
B) Divide 2 by 1/8 (or multiply 2 by the reciprocal of 1/8):
2 ÷ (1/8) = 2 * (8/1) = 2 * 8 = 16 bookcases
So, Victoria will be able to paint 16 bookcases.
