31 gallons of blue paint. He uses 2 quarts. How much paint does he have left?
Circle the letter for all that apply. (1 gallon = 4 quarts)
A 16 quarts
B 52 gallons
C 52 quarts
D 2; gallons
E 4 gallons

2 gallons

Step-by-step explanation:

2 gallons of paint

Explanation:

If 3/4 of a gallon covers 2/5 of a wall, this means that a half of 3/4 gallons can cover 1/5 of a wall.

By knowing this, you can just make up your own expression

(the trick is to find a way to break it down to one, so you can multiply and manipulate it to save yourself some brain cells)

if

= amount of paint to cover 1/5 wall

then

(38)⋅5

since we're talking about real life it would be 2 gallons of paint instead of 1.875 gallons to paint the whole wall

Hope this helps!
