1 + (2/3) / (1/8) = 1 + 2/3 * 8 = 6 1/3
so 7 cans
so 7 cans
First, we need to find out how much paint he poured into each container. The teacher poured 1/8 gallon of paint into each container.
Then, we need to determine the number of containers that can be filled with the given amount of paint. To do this, we need to divide the total amount of paint available (2/3 gallon) by the amount of paint poured into each container (1/8 gallon):
(2/3 gallon) รท (1/8 gallon/container) = (2/3) ร (8/1) = 16/3 = 5 1/3 containers.
Since we are including the partially filled container, we can say that the art teacher had 5 containers with paint, including the one that was partially filled.
