2
3
of the paint to paint his bedroom. He uses the rest of the paint for a mural in his garage. How much paint does Edwin use for the mural?
Edwin uses 3 - 2 = <<3-2=1>>1 gallon of paint for the mural. Answer: \boxed{1}.
To find out how much paint Edwin uses for the mural, we need to subtract the amount of paint he used for his bedroom from the total amount of paint he has.
Edwin has 3 gallons of green paint.
He uses 2/3 of the paint for his bedroom.
To find out how much paint he used for the bedroom, we multiply the total amount of paint by the fraction used:
2/3 * 3 gallons = 2 gallons.
So Edwin used 2 gallons for his bedroom.
To find out how much paint he used for the mural, we subtract the amount used for the bedroom from the total amount of paint he has:
3 gallons - 2 gallons = 1 gallon.
Therefore, Edwin used 1 gallon of paint for the mural in his garage.
