Answer:
[tex]\frac{1}{6}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
We have been given that 1/2 of Ila's work-space is covered in paper.1/3 of the paper is covered in yellow sticky notes.
First of all, we will draw a model to represent our given information as shown in the attached image.
To find the fraction of Ila's work-space that is covered in yellow sticky notes, we need to find 1/3 of 1/2 as:
[tex]\text{Ila's work-space that is covered in yellow sticky notes}=\frac{1}{2}\times \frac{1}{3}[/tex]
[tex]\text{Ila's work-space that is covered in yellow sticky notes}=\frac{1}{2\times 3}[/tex]
[tex]\text{Ila's work-space that is covered in yellow sticky notes}=\frac{1}{6}[/tex]
Therefore, [tex]\frac{1}{6}[/tex] of Ila's work-space is covered in yellow sticky notes.
