Answer:
1/10
Step-by-step explanation:
First, convert your numbers to decimals.
2.5 cans of paint cover 0.25 area of a room.
Equation:
2.5=0.25
If you divide 2.5 by 5, you'll get 0.5.
But what you do to one side, you do it to the other.
0.25÷5= 0.05
So now you have your new equation
0.5=0.05
since you want 1 can of paint, multiply it by 2.
1= 0.1
convert it back to fraction: 1/10
