Question

1.

Joshua and Helen are painting sections of their house this weekend. It will take
3 7/9 gallons to paint the room upstairs. The downstairs room will need 5 1/3 gallons
of paint. If they buy 10 gallons of paint, how much will be left over?

Answer 1

8/9 will be left over

Explanation:

3 7/9 + 5 1/3= 9 1/9

Now subtract the amount of paint needed by how much paint there is:

10- 9 1/9= 8/9

Therefore, 8/9 will be left over

Hope this helps
