Marcella divided 40.8 gallons of paint among 8 containers. How much paint is in each container?

** Each container has 5.1 gallons of paint** ; For this case, the first thing we must do is define variables:
a: total amount of galores:
b: total amount of containers
r: gallon rate per container
We have then:
r = b a ​
Substituting values we have:
r = 8 40.8 ​
r = 5.1

Each of the 8 containers has 5.1 gallons of paint. This is calculated by dividing the total amount of paint, 40.8 gallons, by the number of containers, 8. The formula used is r = b a ​ .
