Question

Layla has three over four of a can of paints she uses two over three of the paint for one wall in her bedroom How much of the can she use

Answer 1

To find out how much paint Layla uses, we need to multiply the amount of paint she has (three-fourths of a can) by the fraction of paint she uses (two-thirds).

Here is the calculation:

\[
\text{Amount of paint used} = \left(\frac{3}{4}\right) \times \left(\frac{2}{3}\right)
\]

To multiply these fractions, multiply the numerators and then the denominators:

\[
\text{Numerator: } 3 \times 2 = 6
\]
\[
\text{Denominator: } 4 \times 3 = 12
\]

So, we have:

\[
\text{Amount of paint used} = \frac{6}{12}
\]

Now, we can simplify \(\frac{6}{12}\):

\[
\frac{6}{12} = \frac{1}{2}
\]

Therefore, Layla uses \(\frac{1}{2}\) of a can of paint for one wall in her bedroom.
