Answer:

5 1/2 blocks

Step-by-step explanation:

Jacob is painting wooden blocks. He has 11\12 of a quart of paint. Each block needs 1\6 of a quart of paint. How many blocks can he paint?

From the above question:

1/6 quart of paint = 1 block

11/12 quart of paint = x

Cross Multiple

1/6 x = 11/12 × 1

x = 11/12 ÷ 1/6

x = 11/12 × 6

x = 11/2 blocks

x = 5 1/2 blocks

Therefore, Jacob can paint 5 1/2 blocks
