Alice used 3/4 of paint to colour her drawing .belinda used 4/5 more than alice to colour her drawing .how many litres of paint did they use altogether ?
Victor and ajay go for a walk every morning .victor walks 2×1/6 km.ajay walks 1×3/8 km less than victor .what is the total distance they walk every morning?
total use = 3/4 + 4/5 + 3/4
=

As to the walking question, did you mean 2 1/6 km (as in "two and one sixth) ?
If so....
what is 2 1/6 - 1 3/8 ?
= 13/6 - 11/8
= .....
To find the total amount of paint used by Alice and Belinda, we need to first find the amount of paint used by Alice and then the amount of paint used by Belinda.
Alice used 3/4 of the paint. Let's assume the total amount of paint used by both Alice and Belinda is "x" liters.
The amount of paint used by Alice is (3/4) * x liters.
Belinda used 4/5 more paint than Alice. To calculate the amount of paint used by Belinda, we need to add (4/5) * the amount Alice used to the amount Alice used.
The amount of paint used by Belinda is [(4/5) * (3/4) * x] + (3/4) * x liters.
Now, to find the total amount of paint used by both Alice and Belinda, we need to add the amounts of paint used by each of them.
Total amount of paint used = (3/4) * x + [(4/5) * (3/4) * x] + (3/4) * x liters.
To simplify the expression, we can use common denominators for (3/4) and (4/5), which is 20.
Total amount of paint used = [(15/20) * x] + [(16/20) * (15/20) * x] + [(15/20) * x].
Simplifying further, we get:
Total amount of paint used = (15/20) * x + (12/20) * x + (15/20) * x liters.
Combining like terms, we get:
Total amount of paint used = (15 + 12 + 15)/20 * x liters.
Total amount of paint used = (42/20) * x liters.
Thus, Alice and Belinda used (42/20) * x liters of paint altogether.
To compute the specific value, we need to know the value of "x" (total amount of paint used by both Alice and Belinda).
