Beth filled 32 jars with paint. If each jar holds 1 pint of paint, how many gallons of paint did Beth use?

If you would like to know how many gallons of paint did Beth use, you can calculate this using the following steps:

1 jar ... 1 pint of paint

32 jars ... x pints of paint = ?

1 * x = 1 * 32

x = 32 pints of paint

1 gallon ... 8 pints

y gallons = ? ... 32 pints of paint

1 * 32 = 8 * y

32 = 8 * y / 8

y = 32 / 8 = 4 gallons of paint

Result: Beth used 4 gallons of paint.

4 pints = 1 gallon

32 jars = 32 pints

32 pints / 4 pints=8 gallons of paint
