Jason has already used 3 1/1 cans of paint painting furniture. He is painting chairs that use 8 1/1 cans of paint.

Question

Let the total cans of paint used be represented by p.
Let the number of chairs painted be represented by c.
An equation that represents this scenario is: p=8 1/1c+3 1/1

What is the total number of cans used if he paints 24 chairs?
Answer as a decimal.

Answer 1

Your fractions don't make sense
3 1/1 is 4
8 1/1 is 9

fix your post

Answer 2

Since c represent the number of chairs, we can subtract 24 by c and solve for p.

p=8 1/1(24)+3 1/1=

Answer 3

(8 1/1 = 9) \ 9 x (24) = (216) + (3 1/1 = 4) \ (4)= 220.

"\" Represents "Or" (Ex. 2 Or 2.0)

Your answer is 220. :)
