Question

Kaylee has 2 gallons each of red and blue paint, and 1 gallon each of orange and green paint. She paints her bedroom with these jars of paint. If she uses $\frac{2}{3}$ of the red paint, $\frac{1}{4}$ of the blue paint, $\frac{1}{2}$ of the orange paint, and $\frac{5}{7}$ of the green paint, how much paint (in gallons) does Kaylee have left over

Answer 1

Answer:

3( 73/84 )left over

Step-by-step explanation:

She had 6 gallons in total

2/3+1/4+1/2+5/7=179/84   =  2 ( 11/84)

6/1-179/84 = 325/84    =  3(73/84)

She used  179/84

She have left 325/84

179/84   +  325/84 = 6

   With mixed numbers:

2  11/84  

3  73/84

 2+3=5                11/84+73/84= 84/84 =1

5+1=6
