Leah decided to paint some of the rooms at her 51 room hotel. she needs 1/5 of a can to paint per room. if leah had 6 cans of paint, how many rooms can she paint?

First, we need to know how many rooms she can paint with one can. If Leah can paint one entire room with just of a can, Leah can paint 5 rooms with 1 can of paint. We can figure this out by adding the numerator until we get to the denominator. If the fraction is , we can add 4 to the numerator and we will get which equals 1. If Leah can paint 5 rooms with one can of paint, we can multiply 5 by 6 and we will get a product of 30.

Therefore, Leah can paint 30 rooms at her hotel.

the difference between a number and 5 is -2.

step-by-step explanation:

notice that the equation you are given has -2 (negative 2) on the right side, not 2. when you subtract 5 from a number n, you are finding the difference between the number and 5.

the difference between a number and 5 is -2.
