Bonita is painting walls. Each wall is the same area and requires 2525 gallon of paint. Complete the equation and then use the drop-down menu to complete the statement below to show how many walls she can paint with 4343 gallons of paint.

Answer 1

Given: 2525 gallons per wall
Think of gallons of pain and walls as units.
You want to cancel out gallons of pain have the units be walls.

So you have 4343 gallons of paint, divide that by 2525 gallons of paint per wall to get the number of walls that can be painted.

4343/2525=1.72 walls.
