Question

15. Marteen wants to paint 2/3 of her room today. She wants to paint 1/4

of that before lunch. How much of her room will she paint
today before lunch?

Answer 1

Answer: Marteen will paint 1/6 of her room today.

Explanation:

In order to solve this equation, all you have to do is multiply how much of her room Marteen wants to paint today (2/3) by how much of that amount she wants to paint before lunch (1/4). because she wants to paint 1/4 of 2/3 of her room before lunch, you have to multiply 2/3 and 1/4. SO...

Multiply: 1/4 x 2/3 = 2/12

Simplify: 2/12 = 1/6

Answer: 1/6

Hope this helps!

Answer 2
