remaining to paint the fence. What part of the paint was left?​

Answer 1

The part of the paint that was left is 51/120

• Amount of white paint Alex had = 5/6

• Amount used to paint the wall = 1/8

Remaining paint = 5/6 - 1/8

Remaining paint = 20-3/24

• Remaining paint = 17/24

Amount used to paint the fence = 2/5  of 17/24

Amount used to paint the fence = 34/120 = 17/60

Amount of paint left = 5/6 - (1/8 + 17/60)

Amount of paint left = 5/6 - (49/120)

Amount of paint left = 100-49/120

Amount of paint left = 51/120

Hence the part of the paint that was left is 51/120
