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 A 1/12 of the can B 5/12 of the can C 1/2 of the can of D 2/3 of the can

Answer 1

To determine how much paint Layla uses, we need to find \( \frac{2}{3} \) of \( \frac{3}{4} \) of the can of paint. We can do this by multiplying the two fractions:

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

Now, multiply the numerators and the denominators:

\[
= \frac{2 \times 3}{3 \times 4} = \frac{6}{12}
\]

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

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

So, Layla uses \( \frac{1}{2} \) of the can of paint. Therefore, the correct answer is:

**C** \( \frac{1}{2} \) of the can.
