Question

A can contains 1/2 pint of paint. If we use 2/3 of the paint, how much paint is left in the can?

Answer 1

Answer:

d

Step-by-step explanation:

Quantity of paint used = (2/3) of (1/2)

      $=\frac{2}{3}*\frac{1}{2}\\\\=\frac{1}{3}$

Quantity left in the can = $\frac{1}{2}-\frac{1}{3}$

   $= \frac{1*3}{2*3}-\frac{1*2}{3*2}\\\\=\frac{3}{6}-\frac{2}{6}\\\\=\frac{1}{6}$
