Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To find the amount of paint needed for 11 classrooms, first find the amount needed for one classroom by dividing $4 \frac { 1 } { 2 }$ gallons by 3, then multiply that amount by 11. $4 \frac { 1 } { 2 }$ gallons is $4.5$ gallons, so for one classroom, it's $4.5 \div 3 = 1.5$ gallons. For 11 classrooms, it's $1.5 \times 11 = 16.5$ gallons, which is $16 \frac { 1 } { 2 }$ gallons.
