this is pretty easy, I'm sure you will be able to figure it out. Use your division.
please help me
can you show me how to do it
217/62 = 3.5 five L cans
However, do you think you can buy a 1/2 of a five L can ?
More than likely Shane will have to buy 4 of the 5L cans
(he will need 17.5 L,
so he has to buy 3 large cans and 3 smaller 1L cans
My experience is that it would probably cost more to buy 3 1L cans than one large 5L can)
