Question

Ok my question says "destiny and carla had a total of 3 gallons of paint to share for a project they had 1 gallon each yellow blue and red paint destiny used 3/8 gallon of yellow paint 1/2 of blue paint 1/4 of red paint carla used 1/4 of yellow 3/8 of blue and 1/4 of red then part a ask how much more paint in gallons did destiny use than carly

Answer 1

Answer: 1/4

Explanation:

Since Destiny used 3/8 gallon of yellow paint, 1/2 of blue paint and 1/4 of red paint, the total paint used will be:

= ⅜ + ½ + ¼

= 3/8 + 4/8 + 2/8

= 9/8

= 1 1/8

Carla used 1/4 of yellow, 3/8 of blue and 1/4 of red. The total paint used will be:

= 1/4 + 3/8 + 1/4

= 2/8 + 3/8 + 2/8

= 7/8

The numybe of paint that Destiny use more than Carla will be:

= 1 1/8 - 7/8

= 2/8

= 1/4

Destiny used 1/4 paint more than Carla
