Given the statement:
Brandon has 7 1/2 gallons of paint. he plans on using 1 1/2 on each room.
Determine how many rooms will he be able to paint.
Solution:
In order to determine how many rooms can be painted we simply need to change fist the mixed numbers into decimals.
7 ½

1 ½
= 1.5
Divide 7.5 by 1.5.
= 7.5/1.5
= 5
Final answer:
Brandon can paint 5 rooms
