You are painting the outside of a 36-foot fence that goes around a square playground. There are 4 equal sections. You have painted 1/4 of one section. What fraction of the job have you completed?

Respuesta :

36/4 x 1/4 = 36/16 or 2 4/16 or 2 1/4

Answer:

You have completed [tex]\frac{1}{16}[/tex] of the job.

Step-by-step explanation:

You are painting the outside of a 36 foot fence.

There are 4 equal sections of the fence = 36 ÷ 4 = 9 feet one section.

You have painted [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex] of one section.

9 × [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{9}{4}[/tex] feet.

you have painted [tex]\frac{9}{4}[/tex] feet of one section.

Now the fraction of total job done = [tex]\frac{9}{4\times 36}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{1}{16}[/tex]

You have completed [tex]\frac{1}{16}[/tex] of the job.
