If the art teacher distributes all of the blue paint equally among the 6 jars, how much will be in each jar?

Answer 1

To determine how much blue paint will be in each jar when distributed equally, you need to first find the total amount of paint from the 6 jars and then divide that amount by 6.

1. Calculate the total amount of blue paint left in the jars. (This requires the specific amounts from the graph you mentioned, which I do not have access to, but you can do this by adding the amounts from all 6 jars.)

2. Divide the total amount by 6 to find out how much paint each jar will hold when distributed equally.

Mathematically, it looks like this:

\[ \text{Total Amount of Paint} = \text{Amount in Jar 1} + \text{Amount in Jar 2} + \text{Amount in Jar 3} + \text{Amount in Jar 4} + \text{Amount in Jar 5} + \text{Amount in Jar 6} \] \[ \text{Amount in Each Jar} = \frac{\text{Total Amount of Paint}}{6} \]

You will need to substitute in the actual values to get the final answer. If you can provide the amounts from the jars, I could help you with the calculation!
