you purchased paint for the rooms in your house you have 1.5 cans of paint left you painted for rooms in each room required 2 cans of paint you spilled 1/2 of a can of paint how many cans of paint did you purchase
I may be wrong but if each of the four rooms required two cans, 4x2 is 8. then it says you spilt half a can, making that 8.5 cans. but, you have 1.5 cans left. 8.5+1.5= 10.
