An art teacher has 4/5 gallon of point to pour into containers. if he poured 3/8 gallon of paint into each container until he ran out of paint, how many containers had paint in them, including the one that was partially filled?

Divide 4/5 gallon by 3/8 gallon:

4

--

5           4      8      32

 = --- * =

3           5      3       15

--

8

Note that 32/15 yields 2 2/15.  Thus, 2 containers received 3/8 gallons of paint each, and 1 was partially filled (with 2/15 gallon).

56.6

step-by-step explanation:

the ratio of the perimeters is equal to the scale.

the ratio of the areas is equal to the square of the scale.

34 / 20 = k

a / 19.6 = k²

substituting:

a / 19.6 = (34 / 20)²

a = 19.6 (34 / 20)²

a ≈ 56.6

answer: the answer is e
