Step-by-step explanation:

1.5 walls need 5/6 can of paint

1 wall need 5/6*1/1.5=5/9 can of paint

5 walls need 5/9*5=25/9 can of paint

Answer:

James painted 1.5 walls with 5/6 of a can of paint so 25/9 can of paint needed to paint 5 walls that are the same area

Solution:

Given Data:

James painted 1.5 walls with 5/6 of can of paint

We need to find how much paint he will need to paint 5 walls with same area.

Follow the below steps to solve the problem:

1.5 walls need 5/6 can of paint

1 wall need = [tex]\frac{5}{6} \times \frac{1}{1.5}=\frac{5}{9}[/tex] can of paint

5 walls need = [tex]\frac{5}{9} \times 5=\frac{25}{9}[/tex]

So [tex]\frac{25}{9}[/tex] can of paint needed to paint 5 walls that are the same area.
