Answer 3

I tried to work it out but i kept getting higher numbers that couldn't be reduced

Answer 5

well 50% fewer would be half, and half of three is 1.5 cans. and we want just a little more than that, not quite half
the only options that are similar are A and B which are 1 1/5 and 1 4/5. and we want little more than 1 and a half so it would be B 1 and 4/5. :) I hope that helps

Answer 6

Hope I did that all right, I tried my best :)

Answer 7

3 cans is 100%
Fawn wants to use only 60% of it (40% less than original amount)
so considering this
if you were to make a fraction
in your options all denominators are 5
thus
100% = 5
60% = ?
do cross multiplication and you will get the number of your nominator
so now u will have nominator and denominator of the fraction
and the fraction is multiplied by 3
