In painting a house 15 3/4 litres of paint were needed for 4 1/2 rooms, the bathroom was small so it's like a half. How much paint should be poured into each room's bucket to paint it?

total paint 15 ¾ = 63/4 liters paint

total room 4 ½ =  9/2 room

then

(63/4)  / (9/2)

=(63/4) x(2/9)

= (63*2)/(4*9)

=126/36

= 3.5 liters each room
