It Would Be Glad If I Can Get Some Help!

Answer 1

Kevin painted
`(1)/(9)` of the wall.

Solution:

Fraction of the wall painted by Elena =
`(5)/(9)`

Fraction of the wall painted by Matthew =
`(3)/(9)`

Fraction of the wall painted by Kevin = ?

Full wall can be taken as 1.

To find the wall painted by Kevin:

Rest of the wall = Full wall – painted by Elena – Painted by Matthew

`$=1-(5)/(9)-(3)/(9)`

`$=(1)/(1) -(5)/(9)-(3)/(9)`

To make the denominator same, multiply the numerator and denominator of the first term by 9.

`$=(9)/(9) -(5)/(9)-(3)/(9)`

`$=(9-5-3)/(9)`

`$=(1)/(9)`

Rest of the wall =
`(1)/(9)`

Hence the kevin painted
`(1)/(9)` of the wall.
