Callie has 2 cans of orange paint with 4.5 gallons in each can. She also has 910 of a gallon of black paint. Her brother took 0.8 gallon of the black paint and 3.75 gallons from each of the cans of orange paint. What is the total amount of paint Callie has remaining after her brother took the stated amounts?

The total amount of paint left is 1.6 gallon of paint remaining

Where she has:

1.5 gallon of orange paint left and 0.1 gallon of black paint left.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1

Callie has 2 cans of orange paint with 4.5 gallons in each can.

The total gallons of orange paint that she has is given as:

1 can = 4.5 gallons

2 cans = x gallons

Cross Multiply

x = 4.5 gallons × 2 cans

x = 9 gallons of orange paint.

She also has 9/10 of a gallon of black paint.

Her brother took 0.8 gallon of the black paint

and 3.75 gallons from each of the cans of orange paint.

Since there are 2 cans, the total gallons of orange paint that her brother took = 2 × 3.75 gallons

= 7.5 gallons

Step 2

For orange paint

The amount of orange paint that she has left = 9 gallons - 7.5 gallons

= 1.5 gallons of orange paint left.

For black paint

We are told that: She also has 9/10 of a gallon of black paint.

Converting to decimal

= 0.9 gallon of black paint.

Her brother took 0.8 gallon of the black paint

The total gallon of black paint that she has left =

0.9 gallon - 0.8 gallon

= 0.1 gallon of black paint left.

The total amount of paint Callie has remaining after her brother took the stated amounts is:

1.5 gallon of orange paint + 0.1 gallon of black paint = 1.6 gallon of paint remaining
