    About 1 gal

    Step-by-step explanation:

    When you are estimating with fractions, you should round them off to the closest integers that you can work with in your head.

    ⅓, ⅕, and ½ are all close to zero, but that's absurd, because Neil clearly has some paint.

    Instead, let's estimate that ⅓ gal + ⅕ gal make about ½ gal.

    They still have the other ½ gal, and

    ½ gal + ½ gal = 1 gal.

    Neil has about 1 gal of paint.
