Question

John painted $\frac{2}{6}ths$ of a wall and Adam painted $\frac{2}{3}rds$ of the same wall.
painted more part of the wall.

• A. John has
• B. Adam has
• C. Both of them have

Answer 1

The correct option is B Adam has

$\text{Part of wall painted by John}=\frac{2}{6}$

$\text{The fraction}\frac{2}{6}\text{can be represented as:}$


$\text{Similarly, the part of wall painted}\text{by Adam}=\frac{2}{3}$


To compare the parts of the wall painted by John and Adam, we have to first convert the fractions into like fractions.

We know like fractions will have the same denominator.

$\text{So, the fraction}\frac{2}{3}\text{can be represented as:}$


$\text{Comparing the two fractions, we find:}$


$\text{∴ The fraction of wall painted by Adam}\text{is more than that painted by John.}$
