Q. Mrs. Archer is doing a painting project with her art class. She uses a large jug with

28.5

ounces of blue paint to fill

6

smaller bottles. If she divides the paint evenly, how much paint will be in each bottle?

\newline

____ ounces

Identify total paint and bottles: Step $1$ : Identify the total amount of paint and the number of bottles. $\newline$ Total paint: $28.5$ ounces, Number of bottles: $6$ . $\newline$ We need to divide the total paint by the number of bottles to find out how much paint each bottle will get. $\newline$ Calculation: $28.5 \div 6$
Perform division for paint per bottle: Step $2$ : Perform the division to find the amount of paint per bottle. $\newline$ $28.5 \div 6 = 4.75$ $\newline$ Each bottle will contain $4.75$ ounces of paint.
