Answer:
the can contained a total of 69.6 oz
Step-by-step explanation:
First, we find the total amount he used.
2/3 + 1/6 = 4/6 + 1/6 = 5/6
He used 5/6 of the can.
He used 58 oz.
That means that 5/6 of the can equals 58 oz.
We don't know the size of the can, so let x = original number of ounces in can.
5/6 of can = 58
5/6x = 58
Multiply both sides of the equation by 6/5 to find x.
6/5 × 5/6x = 6/5 × 58
x = 69.6
