Question
An art teacher had 23 gallon of paint to pour into containers. If he poured 18 gallon of paint into eachcontainer until he ran out of paint, how many containers had paint in them, including the one that waspartially filled?(1) 1 (2) 3 (3) 5 (4) 6
Solution
The teacher had 23 gallons of paint and poured 18 gallons into each container.
Step 1: Divide the total amount of paint by the amount poured into each container.
23 ÷ 18 = 1.27
This means that the teacher was able to completely fill 1 container and partially fill another one.
Step 2: Since we are asked for the total number of containers that had paint in them, including the one that was partially filled, we round up the result from step 1 to the nearest whole number.
So, the teacher filled 2 containers with paint.
