Solution :
Mrs. Jennings has [tex]\frac{3}{4}[/tex] Gallons of paint for an art project.
In 1 jar she puts [tex]\frac{1}{8}[/tex] gallon of paint.
The number of jars in which she plans to to divide the paint equally is given by,
[tex]n=\frac{\frac{3}{4}}{\frac{1}{8}}[/tex]
[tex]n=\frac{3\times 8}{4}[/tex]
[tex]n=3\times 2[/tex]
[tex]n=6[/tex]
Therefore, The number of jars she will use is 6.
