Question

A full can of paint contains 4/5 of a gallon. Brandon used 3/4 of a can of paint to paint a doghouse. He then used 2/3 of what remained in the can to paint a door. How much paint is left in the can, in gallons?

Answer 1

And: 0

Explanation:

We know,

Total amount of paint (t)= 4/5

Total amount of used paint (u)=3/4+2/3= 17/12

Remaining amount of paint (r)= ?

Now,

r = t-u

= 4/5-17/12

= -37/60

Hence, the amount of paint cannot be in negative so the answer is zero.
