Question

Shubham painted $\frac{3}{5}$ of the wall space in his room. His sister Madhavi helped and painted $\frac{2}{5}$ of the wall space. How much did they paint together?

• A. $\frac{1}{5}$ of the wall
• B. $\frac{5}{10}$ of the wall
• C. $\frac{6}{25}$ of the wall
• D. Whole wall

Answer 1

The correct option is D Whole wall

Shubham painted $\frac{3}{5}$th of the wall space in his room.

His sister Madhavi helped and painted $\frac{2}{5}$th of the wall space.


To find the total fraction of the wall Shubham and Madhavi painted together, we will add $\frac{2}{5}$ and $\frac{3}{5}$ .

$\frac{2}{5}$ + $\frac{3}{5}$ = $\frac{2+3}{5}$ = $\frac{5}{5}$ = 1

Together, they have painted the whole wall.
