Answer:

18 gallons of paint could paint 10 classrooms.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the school bought 18 gallons of paint, and that each classroom requires 1 4/5 of paint to be painted, to determine how many classrooms can be painted with that amount of paint, the following calculation must be performed:

4/5 = 0.8

1 + 0.8 = 1.8

18 / 1.8 = 10

Therefore, 18 gallons of paint could paint 10 classrooms.
