8 walls

Step-by-step explanation:

While painting the interior of a large house, Gene is going to transfer some paint in a large 5 gallon container to a smaller bucket. Unfortunately he slips and spills 2 gallons of paint all over the floor.

The remaining amount of paint is

= 5 gallons - 2 gallons

= 3 gallons

If each wall in the house takes 9/24 of a gallon to paint, how many walls can he paint with what he has left?

Hence:

9/24 gallon = 1 Wall

3 gallons = x wall

Cross Multiply

9/24 × x = 3 × 1

x= 3 ÷ 9/24

x = 3 × 24/9

x = 8 walls

He can paint 8 walls with what is left.
