Josef and Mai divided some stamps between themselves. Josef got 60% of the stamps. If Josef received 500 more stamps than Mai, how many stamps did Josef receive?

1.625 quarts

Step-by-step explanation:

Total paint = 3 quarts 8 ounces

Number of projects = 2

To divide the paint between the two. Projects, divide the total number of paints by the number of project ;

Total paint / number of projects

Recall,;

1 quarts = 32 ounces

x quarts = 8 ounces

Cross multiply

32x = 8

x = 8/32

x = 1/4 = 0.25

Hence, total paint = 3 + (0.25) = 3.25 quarts

3.25 / 2 = 1.625 quarts per project
