Juan used 2/3 of his can of paint to paint his garage and 1/6 of his can of paint to touch up things around the house. If he used 58 ounces of paint, how
much paint was in the can to start with? Round to nearest whole number. PLS HELP WILL DO ANYTHING

the can contained a total of 69.6 oz

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we find the total amount he used.

2/3 + 1/6 = 4/6 + 1/6 = 5/6

He used 5/6 of the can.

He used 58 oz.

That means that 5/6 of the can equals 58 oz.

We don't know the size of the can, so let x = original number of ounces in can.

5/6 of can = 58

5/6x = 58

Multiply both sides of the equation by 6/5 to find x.

6/5 × 5/6x = 6/5 × 58

x = 69.6

the can contained a total of 69.6 oz
