gallons of paint. She used
1
4
of the paint on her bedroom,
3
quarts on the hallway, and the rest of the paint in the living room. How many quarts of paint did Mieko use in the living room?

A.
3
quarts

B.
8
quarts

C.
10
quarts

D.
12
quarts

Answer 1

Mieko used 1/4 of 2 gallons, which is 1/4 x 2 x 4 = 2 quarts of paint on her bedroom. She used 3 quarts on the hallway. Therefore, she used a total of 2 + 3 = 5 quarts of paint on the bedroom and hallway combined. Since she started with 2 gallons (which is 8 quarts), she has 8 - 5 = 3 quarts of paint left for the living room. Therefore, the answer is A. 3 quarts.
