Answer:
3 1/2 gallons of paint
Step-by-step explanation:
1 5/8 - 5/6 = x
Turn the mixed number into an improper fraction:
1 5/8 = 13/8 = x
13/8 - 5/6 = x
make the denominator the same:
13/8 * 3 = 104/24
5/6 * 4 = 20/24
Subtract:
104/24 - 20/24 = 84/24
Simplify:
84/24 divided by 6 = 14/4
14/4 divided by 2 = 7/2
Turn into a mixed number:
3 1/2
