Question

1/2 of lla's workspace is covered in paper.1/3 of the paper is covered in yellow sticky notes.What fraction of lla's workspace is covered in yellow sticky notes?

Answer 1

`(1)/(6)`

Explanation:

We have been given that 1/2 of Ila's work-space is covered in paper.1/3 of the paper is covered in yellow sticky notes.

First of all, we will draw a model to represent our given information as shown in the attached image.

To find the fraction of Ila's work-space that is covered in yellow sticky notes, we need to find 1/3 of 1/2 as:

`\text{Ila's work-space that is covered in yellow sticky notes}=(1)/(2)* (1)/(3)`

`\text{Ila's work-space that is covered in yellow sticky notes}=(1)/(2* 3)`

`\text{Ila's work-space that is covered in yellow sticky notes}=(1)/(6)`

Therefore,
`(1)/(6)` of Ila's work-space is covered in yellow sticky notes.
