Answer:
5 1/2 blocks
Step-by-step explanation:
Jacob is painting wooden blocks. He has 11\12 of a quart of paint. Each block needs 1\6 of a quart of paint. How many blocks can he paint?
From the above question:
1/6 quart of paint = 1 block
11/12 quart of paint = x
Cross Multiple
1/6 x = 11/12 × 1
x = 11/12 ÷ 1/6
x = 11/12 × 6
x = 11/2 blocks
x = 5 1/2 blocks
Therefore, Jacob can paint 5 1/2 blocks
