Question

Shubham painted $\frac{2}{3}$ of the wall space in his room. His sister Madhavi helped and painted$\frac{1}{3}$of the wall space. How much did they paint together?

Answer 1

Total area painted by both.

Shubham's wall space in a room $\frac{2}{3}$

Madhavi's wall space in a room $\frac{1}{3}$

Need to find out how many walls each of them has painted.

The total area painted by both:

$\begin{array}{rcl}\mathrm{Area}& =& \frac{2}{3}+\frac{1}{3}\\ & =& \frac{(2+1)}{3}\\ & =& \frac{3}{3}\\ & =& 1\end{array}$

Therefore, Shubham and Madhavi together painted $1$ a complete wall in a room.
