here you go.... hope this helps

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find out what fraction of a gallon of paint Kulani will use on each wall, we need to divide the amount of paint that he has, 13 of a gallon, by 4.

We know that the fraction 13 represents 1 piece where 3 equal pieces make a whole gallon. We can draw a rectangle that represents a whole gallon and shade 13 of it to represent the amount of paint he has. If we divide each of the 3 equal pieces in the picture into 4 smaller, equal-sized pieces, then the whole gallon is now divided into 4×3=12 equal pieces. This means that one of these new, smaller equal pieces represents the fraction 112:

Note that by dividing every third into 4 equal pieces, we divided the 13 that represents Kulani's paint into 4 equal pieces, and in particular each of these pieces is 112 of the whole gallon. This means that 13÷4=112. Based on our understanding of the relationship between multiplication and division, we can also see that 4×112=13.

So Kulani will need to use 112 of a gallon of paint on each wall.
