Given : Tyler used $1\dfrac{1}{4}$ gallons of paint to paint $\dfrac{5}{8}$ of a fence.

To Find : How many gallons will it take to paint the whole fence

Solution :

Tyler used $1\dfrac{1}{4}$ gallons of paint to paint $\dfrac{5}{8}$ of a fence.

$1\dfrac{1}{4}$ gallons = $\dfrac{5}{4}$ gallons

Paint required for  $\dfrac{5}{8}$ of a fence  = $\dfrac{5}{4}$ gallons

Paint required for  1   fence  = $\dfrac{\dfrac{5}{4}}{\dfrac{5}{8}}$     gallons

Paint required for  1   fence  =    $\dfrac{5}{4} \times \dfrac{8}{5}$ gallons

=> Paint required for  1   fence  =   2  gallons

2  gallons will it take to paint the whole fence
