Answer 1

Using fractions, it is found that $\frac{43}{45}$ of a wheel still needs to be painted.

• On the first wheel, 4 of the 9 equal parts have been painted, that is, $\frac{4}{9}$ of the wheel has been painted, hence $\frac{5}{9}$ has not been painted.

• On the second wheel, 6 of the 10 equal parts have been painted, that is, $\frac{6}{10} = \frac{3}{5}$ of the wheel has been painted, hence $\frac{2}{5}$ has not been painted.

The total fraction that still has to be painted is:

$\frac{5}{9} + \frac{2}{5} = \frac{25 + 18}{45} = \frac{43}{45}$

$\frac{43}{45}$ of a wheel still needs to be painted.
