Steve uses 8/9 gallon of paint to paint 4 identical bird houses. How many gallons of paint does he use for each birdhouse?
Answer:
0.22 gallons of paint steve uses for each birdhouse .
Step-by-step explanation:
As given
\(Steve\ uses\ \frac{8}{9}\ gallon\ of\ paint\ to\ paint\ 4\ identical\ bird\ houses.\)
\(Paint\ used\ for\ each\ birdhouse = \frac{Total\ Paint\ uses}{Number\ of\ birdhouse}\)
\(Paint\ used\ for\ each\ birdhouse = \frac{\frac{8}{9}}{4}\)
\(Paint\ used\ for\ each\ birdhouse =\frac{8}{9\times 4}\)
\(Paint\ used\ for\ each\ birdhouse =\frac{2}{9}\)
= 0.22 gallons
Therefore the 0.22 gallons of paint steve uses for each birdhouse .
