Question

Students are painting a mural. So far the mural is painted 1/4 blue 2/8 red and 3/12 green. Use fraction strips to determine how much of the mural has been painted. Tell the fractions you use to solve

Answer 1

If you make the denominators all the same, the fractions are 3/12 , 3/12 , and 3/12. Then by simply adding them together you get that the mural is 9/12 painted. that then simplifies to  3/4 or 75%
