Answer:
[tex]\mathrm{1 \dfrac{ 1 }{ 6 }\:cups}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given from the graph:
There is [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] cups of paint for one jar
There are 3 cups of paint for three jars
There is 1 [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] cups of paint for one jar
There is 2 cups of paint for one jar
total amount of jars = 6
But since we need to find the amount of cups in each jar, we do:
[tex]\dfrac{ 1 }{ 2 } +3+1 \dfrac{ 1 }{ 2 } +2[/tex]
Add [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] and 1 [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex]
[tex]2+3+2[/tex]
Add 2 and 3
[tex]5+2[/tex]
Add 5 and 2
[tex]7[/tex]
total cups of paint = 7
Then we need to find how much paint could be splitted equally among the 6 jars, so we do the following:
total amount of jars = 6
total cups of paint = 7
We divide the total amount of jars by the total cups of paint
7 ÷ 6
Divide 7 by 6
[tex]\dfrac{ 7 }{ 6 }[/tex]
[tex]= 1 \dfrac{ 1 }{ 6 }[/tex]
[tex]\mathrm{Answer: 1 \dfrac{ 1 }{ 6 }\:cups}[/tex]
