Answer:

\frac{19}{24}  fraction represents the total amount of paint mike mixes

Step-by-step explanation:

As per the statement:

Mike is mixing paint for his walls. he mixes 1/6 gallon blue paint and 5/8 gallon green paint in a large container.

⇒\text{He mixes Blue paint} = \frac{1}{6} gallons and

\text{He mixes green paint} = \frac{5}{8} gallons.

We have to find the total amount of paint mike mixes.

\text{Total amount of paint he mixes} = \text{He mixes Blue paint} +\text{He mixes green paint}

Substitute the given values we have;

\text{Total amount of paint he mixes}  = \frac{1}{6} + \frac{5}{8} = \frac{8+30}{48}=\frac{38}{48}

Simplify:

\text{Total amount of paint he mixes} = \frac{19}{24}

Therefore, the fraction represents the total amount of paint mike mixes is: \frac{19}{24}

1/6+5/8= 4/24+15/24
= 19/24
I think the total amount is 19/24.

Solve for n.<br> 3/4 x n = 1
cestrela7 [59]
3/4 times n=1

remember that when you multiply 3/4 by 4/3 you get 12/12=1 so it simplifies
remember that you can do anything to an equation as long as you do it to both sides

3/4 ties n=1
multiply both sides by 4/3 to clar fraction
12/12 times n=4/3 times 1
1 times n=4/3
n=4/3

answer is n=4/3 or 1 and 1/3
