Mark wants to paint a mural. He has 1 1/7 gallons of yellow paint, 1 1/8 gallons of green paint, and 7/8 gallon of blue paint. Mark plans to use 3/4 gallon of each paint color. How many gallons of paint will he have left after painting the mural? Enter your answer as a simplified fraction.

Respuesta :

Amounts of paint left over are:

Yellow:  1 1/7 - 3/4 = 32/28 - 21/28 = 11/28 gallon

Green:  1 1/8 - 3/4 = 9/8 - 6/8 = 3/8 gallon

Blue:  7/8 - 3/4 = 7/8 - 6/8 = 1/8 gallon

Add 11/28 gallon, 3/8 gallon and 1/8 gallon to answer this question.

Answer:

Mark have left  [tex]\frac{11}{28}[/tex] gallon yellow paint,  [tex]\frac{3}{8}[/tex] gallon green paint and  [tex]\frac{1}{8}[/tex] gallon blue paint.

Step-by-step explanation:

Mark wants to paint a mural.

Mark has yellow paints =  [tex]1\frac{1}{7}[/tex] gallons

He has green paint =  [tex]1\frac{1}{8}[/tex] gallons

quantity of blue paint =  [tex]\frac{7}{8}[/tex] gallons

He plans to use  [tex]\frac{3}{4}[/tex] gallon of each paint.

after painting mural, amount of yellow paint left = [tex]1\frac{1}{7}[/tex] -  [tex]\frac{3}{4}[/tex] =  [tex]\frac{32-21}{28}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{11}{28}[/tex] gallon

Amount of green paint left =  [tex]1\frac{1}{8}[/tex] -  [tex]\frac{3}{4}[/tex] =  [tex]\frac{9-6}{8}[/tex] =  [tex]\frac{3}{8}[/tex] gallons

Amount of blue paint left =  [tex]\frac{7}{8}[/tex] -  [tex]\frac{3}{4}[/tex] =  [tex]\frac{7-6}{8}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{1}{8}[/tex] gallons

Mark have left  [tex]\frac{11}{28}[/tex] yellow paint,  [tex]\frac{3}{8}[/tex] of green paint and  [tex]\frac{1}{8}[/tex] of blue paint.

Total amount of paint left =  [tex]\frac{11}{28}[/tex] +  [tex]\frac{3}{8}[/tex] +  [tex]\frac{1}{8}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{25}{28}[/tex]
