What fraction of the frame did Monica paint blue?

Answer 1

Monica has a 24-inch square frame. There are 4 equal sides. She paints 34 of one side of the frame blue.

Assuming that Monica paints 3/4  of one side of the frame blue.

Given,

24-inch square frame.

As there are 4 equal sides, we have,

24 / 4 = 6 in²

Per fraction we have 6 in²

As given, Monica paints 3/4 of one side of the frame blue.

⇒ 3/4 × 6 = 9/2 in²

[ 9/2 in² ] / [ 24 in² ]

= 3 / (2 × 8)

= 3/16

3/16 fraction of the frame Monica paint blue.
