For this case, the first thing we must do is define variables:

a: total amount of galores:

b: total amount of containers

r: gallon rate per container

We have then:

[tex] r = \frac{a}{b}
[/tex]

Substituting values we have:

[tex]r = \frac{40.8}{8}[/tex]

[tex] r=5.1 [/tex]

Answer:

Each container has 5.1 gallons of paint
