Question

Martin combines 8.65 liters of red paint with 8.09 liters of blue paint to make purple paint. He pours the paint equally into 4 containers and has 2.78 liters of paint leftover. How many liters of paint are in each container

Answer 1

Answer:

3.49 liters of paint in each container

Step-by-step explanation:

So he started off with 8.65 + 8.09 which is 16.74. Then he poured it equally into 4 containers and had 2.78 leftover. so you tak 16.74 - 2.78 which is 13.96. Lastly you divide 13.96 by 4 which is 3.49

I believe this is correct!

Answer 2

Answer:

3.49 liters per container

Step-by-step explanation:

First we need to find the total amount of paint

8.65+8.09=16.74(total amount of paint)

Now subtract 2.78 from 16.74 and then divide that by 4

16.74-2.78=13.96

13.96/4=3.49
