A furniture maker used 2/3 of a can of paint to paint some chairs. He used 1/6 of a can of paint for each chair. How many chairs did he paint?

Respuesta :

Answer:

4 chairs

Step-by-step explanation:

Start with 2/3 can of paint: (2/3)

He used 1/6 of the can to paint each chair: (divided by 1/6)

Now use the 'keep, change, flip' method to get the expression: (2/3x6/1)

Then simplify your answer: (12/3)

Lastly simplify again: (4)

Thus, he painted 4 chairs.
