Question refers to below content.

Three gallons of paint are used to paint 16 wooden signs. How many wooden signs can be painted with one gallon of paint?? Between what two whole numbers does the number lie?

Answer:

$5 \frac{1}{3}$ wooden sign can be painted from 1 gallon of paint.

The answer lies between number 5 and 6.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Amount of paint = 3 gallons

Number of wooden signs = 16

We need to find the Number of wooden signs can be painted with 1 gallon of paint.

Solution:

Now we know that;

3 gallons of paint = 16 wooden signs painted

1 gallon of paint =  Number of wooden signs can be painted with 1 gallon of paint.

By using Unitary method we get;

Number of wooden signs can be painted with 1 gallon of paint = $\frac{16}{3} \ \ Or \ \ 5 \frac{1}{3}$

Hence $5 \frac{1}{3}$ wooden sign can be painted from 1 gallon of paint.

Now we can say that;

$5 \frac{1}{3}$  lies between 5 and 6.

Hence The answer lies between number 5 and 6.
