When someone donated 14 gallons of paint to Rosendale Elementary School, the fifth grade decided to use it to paint murals. They split the gallons equally among the four classes. How much paint did each class have to paint their mural? b. How much paint will three classes use? Show your thinking using words, numbers, or pictures. O. If 4 students share a 30-square-foot wall equally, how many square feet of the wall will be painted by each student?

Answer 1

The total quantity of paint is 14 gallons.

(a)

Determine the paint use by each to paint the murals.

$\begin{gathered} x=\frac{14}{4} \\ =3.5 \end{gathered}$

So paint use by each class or by one class is 3.5 gallons.

(b)

The paint used by three classes is equal to 3 times the paint use by each class.

Determine the paint use by three classes.

$\begin{gathered} 3\cdot x=3\cdot3.5 \\ =10.5 \end{gathered}$

So three classes use 10.5 gallons of paint.
