It took 1 1/3 cans of paint to paint 2/5 of a room. At that rate, how many cans of paint will it take to paint the whole room?

Answer 1

1 1/3 = 1 + 1 / 3 = 3 / 3 + 1 / 3 = 4 / 3

( 1 1/3 ) / ( 2 / 5 ) =

( 4 / 3 ) / ( 2 / 5 ) =

( 4 * 5 ) / ( 3 * 2 ) =

20 / 6 =

( 2 * 10 ) / ( 2 * 3 ) =

10 / 3 =

( 9 + 1 ) / 3 =

9 / 3 + 1 / 3 =

3 + 1 / 3 =

3 1/3 cantrs

Answer 2

The answer is 3 2/3
That’s what I got I can’t promise it’s right.
