Answer:

22

Step-by-step explanation:

Brian has to paint an office building. He has a total of [tex]2\frac{3}{4}[/tex] liters of paint. If [tex]\frac{1}{8}[/tex] liters of paint are required to paint one room, how many rooms can Brian paint?

Solution:

Total number of liters of paint available = [tex]2\frac{3}{4}[/tex]

Number of liters required to paint one room = [tex]\frac{1}{8}[/tex]

Dividing the total number of liters of paint by the number of liters required to paint one room, we can find the number of room which Brian can paint.

Number of rooms Brian can paint = [tex]2\frac{3}{4}[/tex] ÷ [tex]\frac{1}{8}[/tex]

= [tex]\frac{11}{4}[/tex] × [tex]\frac{8}{1}[/tex] = 22

Therefore, Brian can paint 22 rooms with the given amount of paint.
