Sam used 17 cans of paint to paint 6 walls. He used the same amount of paint on each wall. Which is the correct way to show how to find how many cans of paint he used for each wall.

The number of cans of paint he used for each wall is cans

Step-by-step explanation:

Here we are told that Sam used 17 cans of paint to paint 6 walls

The correct way to find out how many cans of paint he used to paint each wall is as follows

Number of walls 17 cans of paint can paint = 6 Walls, we therefore divide both side of the equation by 6 so that the number of walls painted will be 1 as follows

6 Walls = Number of walls 17 cans of paint can paint

6/6 Walls  = Number of walls 17/6 cans of paint can paint

∴ 1 Walls  = Number of walls 17/6 cans of paint can paint  or

∴ 1 Wall  = Number of walls cans of paint can paint

Which gives;

Number of walls cans of paint can paint = 1 Wall or

The number of cans of paint he used for each wall = cans.
