Question

1/2 of lla's workspace is covered in paper.1/3 of the paper is covered in yellow sticky notes.What fraction of lla's workspace is covered in yellow sticky notes?

Answer 1

Answer:

$\frac{1}{6}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that 1/2 of Ila's work-space is covered in paper.1/3 of the paper is covered in yellow sticky notes.

First of all, we will draw a model to represent our given information as shown in the attached image.

To find the fraction of Ila's work-space that is covered in yellow sticky notes, we need to find 1/3 of 1/2 as:

$\text{Ila's work-space that is covered in yellow sticky notes}=\frac{1}{2}\times \frac{1}{3}$

$\text{Ila's work-space that is covered in yellow sticky notes}=\frac{1}{2\times 3}$

$\text{Ila's work-space that is covered in yellow sticky notes}=\frac{1}{6}$

Therefore, $\frac{1}{6}$ of Ila's work-space is covered in yellow sticky notes.
