Tucker is painting his pool deck over the weekend. The area of the deck is 76 1/2 square meters. He paints 2/3 of the deck before stopping to eat lunch. How many square meters does Tucker have left to paint after lunch?
Write your answer as a whole number, fraction, or mixed number. Simplify any fractions.
we have that
total area=76 1/2 m2
Convert to an improper fraction
76 1/2=76+1/2=153/2 m2
1-(2/3)=1/3
Multiply the total area by 1/3
(153/2)*(1/3)=51/2=25.5 m2 ------> 25 1/2 m2
the answer is 25 1/2 m2
