If two-fifths of a wall has been painted and 200 feet of the wall is complete. How much of the wall is left to paint

Answer 1

If two-fifths of the wall has been painted, then three-fifths of the wall is still left to paint.

Given that 200 feet of the wall has been painted, we can find the total length of the wall by dividing 200 by the fraction that represents the painted area (2/5):

Total length of the wall = 200 / (2/5) = 200 * (5/2) = 500 feet

Now, we can find out how much of the wall is left to paint:

Wall left to paint = Total length of the wall - Length of the wall already painted
Wall left to paint = 500 - 200 = 300 feet

Therefore, 300 feet of the wall is left to paint.
