Answer:
(a) The total combined paint is 10.3L
(b) 8.8L paint was left after painting
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question, John combines 7L of white paint with 3300 milliliters of blue paint.
First, convert to the same unit, say liters, L.
Now, we will convert 3300 milliliters to liters (L)
{NOTE: 1000 milliliters (mL) = 1 liter (L)}
Since 1000 milliliters = 1 liter
∴ 3300 milliliters = 3300/1000 liters = 3.3 liters
Hence, 3300 milliliters = 3.3 L
Therefore, he combines 7L of white paint with 3.3L of blue paint.
(a) The total combined paint is 7L + 3.3L = 10.3L
∴ The total combined paint is 10.3L
(b) To determine how much paint was left after painting,
From the question, he uses 1 ½ L of paint to paint a hallway, that is, he uses 1.5 L of paint to paint a hallway;
The paint left will be 10.3L - 1.5L
10.3L - 1.5L = 8.8L
Hence, 8.8L paint was left after painting
