Question

Raj had 3/4 litres of paint. He used 1/2 litres to paint a chair for his grandparents. Then he poured the remaining paint into containers of capacity 3/32 litres each. What is the smallest number of containers that he needed?

Answer 1

Jawaban:

Raj initially had 3/4 litres of paint. After using 1/2 litres, he was left with 3/4 - 1/2 = 1/4 litres of paint.

Each container can hold 3/32 litres of paint. Therefore, the number of containers needed is the total amount of paint divided by the capacity of each container.

So, the number of containers = (1/4) / (3/32) = 8/3 ≈ 2.67

Since Raj can't use a fraction of a container, he would need to round up to the nearest whole number. Therefore, Raj would need **3 containers** to hold all the remaining paint
