Question

20% of length of a flagpole is painted green, 45% is painted yellow and the

remaining red. If the length of the pole is 18m, what length of it is painted red?

Answer 1

6.3 m

The length of the red portion of the pole is found by multiplying the length of the pole by the fraction that is red.

The percentage that is red is 100% -20% -45% = 35%. The amount that is red is ...

0.35 × 18 m = 6.3 m

6.3 m of the pole is painted red.
