Rosa and her friends used 1 2/3 quart of paint on Monday and 1 3/4 quart of pain on Tuesday. If Rosa and her friends have 3/4 quart of pain left, do they
have enough pain to finish the job on Wednesday?
Why do you keep posting this incomplete question?
Two of us have asked for clarification and you haven't responded.
That is all information I have.My answer is: they need on Wed 1 4/5(Monday 1 2/3, Tuesday 1 3/4) So 3/4 is not enough.Is it correct?
AH FINALLY.
If they need 1 4/5 on Wed, then no, 3/4 is not enough.
To determine if Rosa and her friends have enough paint to finish the job on Wednesday, we need to add up the amount of paint they used on Monday and Tuesday, and then subtract that total from the amount of paint they have left.
On Monday, Rosa and her friends used 1 2/3 quart of paint, which can be written as a mixed number or an improper fraction as 5/3 quart.
On Tuesday, they used 1 3/4 quart of paint, which can be written as a mixed number or an improper fraction as 7/4 quart.
To find the sum of the paint used on Monday and Tuesday, we need to add the two fractions:
5/3 + 7/4 = (5 * 4 + 7 * 3) / (3 * 4) = (20 + 21) / 12 = 41/12 quart of paint used.
Now, let's subtract the amount of paint used from the amount of paint they have left:
3/4 - 41/12 = (3 * 12 - 41) / 12 = (36 - 41) / 12 = -5/12 quart of paint left.
Since the result is negative, it means they don't have enough paint to finish the job on Wednesday. They need an additional 5/12 quart of paint to complete the job.
