Question

10., A man used 2/1/2
tins of paint to paint a hall. He used 1/1/4 less to paint a room. How much paint did he use for the room?​

Answer 1

Answer:

he used 5/4 tins of paint

Step-by-step explanation:

Paint used to paint a hall = 2/1/2 which is equal to 5/2 tins of paint.

Paint used to paint a room = 1/1/4 less than the pain used to paint the hall , that is 5/4 less than the paint used to paint the hall . Therefore paint used to pain the room

= 5/2 - 5/4 = 5/4 tins
