First break= 1/2
second break = 1/2 of half= 1/4
third break = half of 1/4 = 1/8
forth break = 1/2 of 1/8 = 1/16
fifth break = 1/2 of 1/16 =1/32
fraction painted = 1 -1/32 =31/32
portion painted = 150*31/32 = 145.3125 ft^2
I think you should Subtract
a
a
from both sides of the equation.
x=3/4-a and that’s your answer
(3)(17.25) = 51.75; he spent $51.75
Because everything in the problem is positive, no negative numbers are needed.
