Emma decided to buy some paint to paint some of the rooms in his house. she found out that one room required 1 1/2 cans of paint. if emma buys 9 cans of paint, how many rooms can she paint?

6
27/3
13 1/2
5

6

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this, divide 9 by 1 1/2.

To make this easier to divide, convert 1 1/2 into an improper fraction.

1 1/2 = 3/2

Dividing 9 by 3/2 is the same as multiplying 9 by 2/3

Multiply the numerators and denominators

[9 is the same as 9/1]

9 x 2 = 18

1 x 3 = 3

18/3 = 6

So, Emma can paint 6 rooms.

I hope this helps!
