To determine how much blue paint each jar will contain after distributing it equally, we need to first calculate the total amount of paint in all the jars based on the values given:
1. **Amount in jars:**
- 1 jar has ½
- 3 jars have 1 (which is 1 + 1 + 1 = 3)
- 1 jar has 1½
- 1 jar has 2
2. **Calculating the total amount of paint:**
- From the jars:
- 1 jar: ½ = 0.5
- 3 jars: 1 = 3.0
- 1 jar: 1½ = 1.5
- 1 jar: 2 = 2.0
- Adding these amounts together:
- Total = 0.5 + 3.0 + 1.5 + 2.0
- Total = 7.0
3. **Distributing the total paint equally among 6 jars:**
- Total paint = 7.0
- Number of jars = 6
- Amount of paint in each jar = Total amount of paint / Number of jars
- Amount in each jar = 7.0 / 6 ≈ 1.1667
Therefore, after distributing all the blue paint equally among the 6 jars, each jar will contain approximately **1.17** (or **1 and 1/6** if preferred).
