Benjamin had 1/3 of a can of paint left after he painted his room. Instead of throwing it away, he decided to use 3/4 of the remaining paint to make a picture for his sister. How much of the paint will he use to make the picture for his sister?

Answer:

1/4 of a can

Explanation:

He used 3/4 of the 1/3 of the can.
