Respuesta :

jason paints 1/4 of the area of his living room walls on Monday  = Wi =1/4

On Tuesday, he paints twice as much as he painted on Monday=Wf=2Wi

                                                                                                         =Wf =2 X 1/4

                                                                                                         = Wf = 1/2

total painted area =W(TOTAL)= Wi+Wf =1/4 + 1/2 =1/2

reaining painted area = W =1 - 1/4 - 1/2 = 1/4

1/4+1/4x2=3/4

Remaining-1-3/4=1/4

Answer: 1/4
