Explanation:

We have that:

She paints 1/6 of the wall green.

An art teacher paints part of a wall in her class room. She paint 2/5 of the wall blue and the bottom 1/6 of the wall green. She dose not paint the rest of the wall what fraction of the wall dose the teacher paint?

The smalles common multiplier between 5 and 6 is 30. So

`(2)/(5) + (1)/(6) = (6*2 + 5*1)/(30) = (17)/(30)`

The teacher paints 17/30 of the wall.
