The paint required to cover 1 door is 5/4 liters.
Step-by-step explanation:
The paint required to cover 1 3/5 doors = 2 liters.
Convert mixed fraction into proper fraction.
To find x :
Comparing the given data and the unknown data.
8/5 door / 2 liters = 1 door / x liter
x = 2 × 5/8
x = 10/8
x = 5/4 liters.
The paint required to cover 1 door is 5/4 liters.
1 [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex] liters of paint is required to cover the specified door.
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1 :
Quantity of paint used = 2 liters
Number of doors covered = 1 [tex]\frac{3}{5}[/tex] doors = [tex]\frac{8}{5}[/tex] doors
We need to find how many liters of paint are need for 1 door
Step 2 :
Quantity of paint used is in direct proportion to the number of doors covered, This means if we have more doors to paint the quantity of paint required will be more.
So using direct proportion we have
For [tex]\frac{8}{5}[/tex] doors we need 2 liters therefore for 1 door we will need 2 ÷ [tex]\frac{8}{5}[/tex] liters = [tex]\frac{5}{4}[/tex] = 1 [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex] liters of paint
Step 3 :
Answer :
1 [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex] liters of paint is required to cover the specified door.
