Answer:
Answer: Kayla used 2&5/24 cups of paint all together.
Step-by-step explanation:
Kayla paints a bookcase by using
1 5/6 cups of paint on the outside of the bookcase. Converting 1 5/6 cups to improper fraction, it becomes 11/6 cups of paint.
She also used 3/8 cup of paint on the inside.
Therefore, the total number of cups of paint that Kayla used all together would be cups of paint:
[tex]11/6 + 3/8 = (44 + 9)/24 = 53/24[/tex]
Converting to mixed fraction, it becomes
2 and 5/24 cups of paint
