Answer:
Leah can paint 30 rooms.
Step-by-step explanation:
Each room requires [tex]\dfrac{1}{5}[/tex] of a can of paint, this means painting 5 rooms requires
[tex]\dfrac{1}{5}+\dfrac{1}{5}+\dfrac{1}{5}+\dfrac{1}{5}+\dfrac{1}{5}=\dfrac{1+1+1+1+1}{5}=\dfrac{5}{5} =1[/tex]
or 1 can paints 5 rooms.
So, if Leah has 6 cans of paint, then how many rooms can she paint?
Leah can paint
[tex]\dfrac{5\:rooms}{can} *6\:cans=\boxed{30\: rooms}[/tex]
Leah can paint 30 rooms with 6 cans of paint.
