Answer 1

Given:

Maria and Emme each had 4 points of paint. On the first day of painting, Maria used 3/5 of her 4 pounds of paint, and Emme used 3/4 of her 4 pounds of paint.

To find:

How much of Maria and Emme's paint remained after the first day of painting?

Solution:

Finding the pounds of paints remained with Maria after the first day of painting:

Total pounds of paint = 4 pounds

The pounds of paints used on the 1st day = $\frac{3}{5} \times 4 = 0.6\times 4 = 2.4 \:pounds$

Thus,

The remaining pounds of paints left with Maria after the 1st day of painting is,

= $4 - 2.4$

= $\boxed{\bold{\underline{1.6 \:pounds}}}$

Finding the pounds of paints remained with Emme after the first day of painting:

Total pounds of paint = 4 pounds

The pounds of paints used on the 1st day = $\frac{3}{4} \times 4 = 3 \:pounds$

Thus,

The remaining pounds of paints left with Emme after the 1st day of painting is,

= $4 - 3$

= $\boxed{\bold{\underline{1 \:pound}}}$
