Full solution

Q. Tomas was able to fill

6\frac{2}{3}

equal-sized buckets with a total of

33\frac{1}{3}

liters of paint. How much paint was in each whole bucket? liters

Add Whole Number and Fraction: Tomas filled $6\left(\frac{2}{3}\right)$ buckets, which is the same as $6 + \frac{2}{3}$ buckets. To find out how many buckets this is in total, we add the whole number to the fraction.
Calculate Paint per Bucket: He filled these buckets with $33\left(\frac{1}{3}\right)$ liters of paint in total. To find out how much paint was in each bucket, we divide the total amount of paint by the total number of buckets.
Divide Total Paint by Buckets: Now, we divide the total liters of paint by the number of buckets to find out how much paint was in each bucket.
