Question

Tucker is painting his pool deck over the weekend. The area of the deck is 76 1/2

square meters. He paints 2/3 of the deck before stopping to eat lunch. How many square meters does Tucker have left to paint after lunch?

Answer 1

Answer:

25 1/2 square meters remaining

Explanation:

Total area of the pool deck=76 1/2 square meters

He painted 2/3 of the deck before stopping for lunch

Total painted=2/3 of 76 1/2

=2/3*153/2

=306/6

=51 square meters

Total remaining=Total area - total painted area

=76 1/2 - 51

=153/2 - 51

=153-102/2

=51/2

=25 1/2 square meters remaining
