Question

You have a 32-foot fence around a square garden. There are 4 equal sections. You paint 1/3 of one section of the fence.What fraction of the fence did you paint?

Answer 1

Where 1/3 of the 1 section had been painted, have each section have 3 parts. So each complete section will be 3/3. Where there is 4 section with 3 parts each, we have 12 parts. Thus, you painted 1/12 of the fence.
