Answer Question

1 Answer - Sort by: Date | Rating

    Rick colors --- 1/2 poster
    Jenny colors ---1/3 poster

    The total poster that they have colored:

    1 + 1
    2    3

    = 1x3 + 1x2
        2x3    3x2  
    = 3 + 2
          6
    = 5
       6

    Therefore, Rick and Jenny have colored a total of 5/6ths of the poster. To find out how much of the poster is still left, we will subtract this value from 1:

    1 - 5
         6
    = 1x6 - 5
           6
    = 6 - 5
          6
    = 1
       6
    So, 1/6th of the poster is left to color.
