Question

Aditya painted 2 upon 3and her sister purvi painted 1 upon 6 of the wall space . What portion of the wall space did they paint together and what portion of the wall space was left

Answer 1

Answer:

Portion of wall space they painted : 5 upon 6

Portion of wall space that was left :1 upon 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Portion Aditya painted:2 upon 3

Portion sister Purvi painted:1 upon 6

Turn the portions into fractions:

2/3 + 1/6

Find their LCD

2/3, 4/6

1/6

LC Dare 4/6 and 1/6

Add the LCD

4/6 + 1/6 = 5/6

5/6 is the "space" they painted

To get the "space" left, subtract 5/6 to 1 whole or 6/6

6/6 - 5/6 = 1/6

1/6 is the answee

And then just turn them back to portions

Hope this helped :)
