Paige painted 4 over 5 of her rooms last year. This can be written as 4/5.

By the end of the year, Paige completed 2 of those rooms. This can be written as 2/5.

To find out how much of Paige's home was painted last year, we need to add the fraction of completed rooms to the fraction of remaining rooms:

4/5 - 2/5 = 2/5

Therefore, 2/5 of Paige's home was painted last year.

Apologies for the error in my previous response. Allow me to correct it:

Paige painted 4/5 (four-fifths) of the rooms in her home last year. By the end of the year, she completed 2/5 (two-fifths) of those rooms.

To find out how much of Paige's home was painted last year, we need to subtract the fraction of completed rooms from the fraction of rooms painted:

4/5 - 2/5 = 2/5

Therefore, Paige painted 2/5 (two-fifths) of her home last year.
