Question 353788: One can of paint is enough for 3 chairs OR 2 tables. Therefore, 7 cans of paint will be enough for 12 chairs AND how many tables? Answer by solver91311(24713) (Show Source):
If one can of paint can do 3 chairs, 1/3 can of paint per chair. Likewise 1/2 can of paint per table. So 12 chairs takes 4 cans of paint, leaving three cans of paint with which to paint tables. 3 cans of paint can do 6 tables.
