Complete question is;

Jackson has to repaint some classroom bookcases. He has 2 gallons of paint. All the bookcases are the same size and each requires 2/5 gallon of paint. How many bookcases is he able to repaint with the amount of paint?

5 books

Step-by-step explanation:

Jackson has 2 gallons of paint

Now, for us to find the number of bookcases the Jackson will be able to repaint if each bookcase requires 2/5 gallon, we will just divide 2 by 2/5

Thus;

Number of book cases Jackson will be able to repaint = 2 ÷ 2/5

Thus gives; 2 × 5/2 = 5 books
