Express your answer in simplest form.




1/12

1/2

1/8

1/3

Answer 1

Answer 1/3
Step by step:
1/6 of the paint is used to paint 1/2 of the wall...we just have to multiply 1/6 by 2
Step by step:
Step 1: 1/6 x 2 = 2/6
Step 2(simplify): when simplifying a fraction we have to find a number that both the numerator and denominator are divisible by....so in this case we can divided both 2 and 6 by 2...if u divide 2 by 2 you get 1 and if you divide 6 by 2 u get 3..so 1/3..

Answer 2

Answer:1/3

Explanation:

If half of the wall is 1/6 paint then the whole wall is 2/6 paint and you just simplify that to 1/3!! Hope this helped!
