Maria and Meme each had 4 pints of paint on the first day of painting Maria used 3/5 of her 4 pints and Emma used 3/4 of her 4 pints of paint altogether how much of Maria and Emme's paint remained after the first day of painting enter the answer as a mixed number

Respuesta :

The amount of paint Maria used is:

[tex]\frac{3}{5}\cdot4=\frac{3\cdot4}{5}=\frac{12}{5}=\frac{10+2}{5}=\frac{10}{5}+\frac{2}{5}=2\frac{2}{5}[/tex]

Then, she has 4 - 2 2/5 pints remaining.

(I replaced 4 by 3 5/5)

The amount of paint Emma used is

[tex]\frac{3}{4}\cdot4=\frac{12}{4}=3[/tex]

Then, she has 4 - 3 = 1 pint remaining

The total remaining paint is 1 3/5 + 1 = 2 3/5 pints
