macy and bill were painting the shed macy painted 2/3 of the shed and bill painted 1/4 of the shed, which statement is truee
The statement "Macy painted more of the shed than Bill" is true.
Since Macy painted 2/3 of the shed and Bill painted 1/4 of the shed, we can compare the fractions.
To compare the fractions, we need to find a common denominator. The least common multiple (LCM) of 3 and 4 is 12.
Converting 2/3 to twelfths, we get 8/12.
Converting 1/4 to twelfths, we get 3/12.
Since 8/12 is greater than 3/12, Macy painted more of the shed than Bill.
macy and bill were painting the shed macy painted 2/3 of the shed and bill painted 1/4 of the shed, which statement is truee
together they painted a little more than half the shed
together they painted almost the shed
together they didnt even paint half of the shed
together they painted three fourths of the shed
The statement "together they painted a little more than half the shed" is true.
To find the combined fraction of the shed painted by Macy and Bill, we need to add the fractions 2/3 and 1/4. To add fractions with different denominators, we need to find a common denominator. The least common multiple (LCM) of 3 and 4 is 12.
Converting 2/3 to twelfths, we get 8/12. Converting 1/4 to twelfths, we get 3/12.
Adding these fractions gives us 8/12 + 3/12 = 11/12.
Since 11/12 is a little less than 12/12, which is equivalent to one whole shed, we can conclude that together, Macy and Bill painted a little more than half the shed.
