Kaylee has 2 gallons each of red and blue paint, and 1 gallon each of orange and green paint. She paints her bedroom with these jars of paint. If she uses 2/3 of the red paint, 1/4 of the blue paint, 1/2 of the orange paint, and 3/4 of the green paint, how much paint (in gallons) does Kaylee have left over?
$2 \cdot \frac{1}{3} + 2 \cdot \frac{1}{4} + 1 \cdot \frac{1}{2} + 1 \cdot \frac{1}{4} = \frac{23}{12}$.
We take the remaining fraction of the paint in each jar and add them together, thus, our answer is $\boxed{\frac{23}{12}}$
Just a slight mistake by xC.....
2(1/3) + 2(3/4) + 1(1/2) + 1(1/4) =
2/3 + 6/4 + 1/2 + 1/4 =
2/3 + 3/2 + 1/2 + 1/4 =
2/3 + 1/4 + 2 =
(4*2 + 1*3) /12 + 24/12
(11/12) + 24/12 =
35/12 gals left over
The sum of paint : 2 + 2 + 1 + 1 = 6 gallons
6 - 2/3 * 2 - 1/4 * 2 x 1/2 * 1 - 3/4 * 1 { left paint }
= 6 - 4/3 - 1/2 - 1/2 - 2/4
= 35/12 gallons
= 2.92 gallons
