Question

Shubham painted <!--td {border: 1px solid #ccc;}br {mso-data-placement:same-cell;}--> $\frac{2}{3}$ of the wall space in his room. His sister Madhavi helped and painted <!--td {border: 1px solid #ccc;}br {mso-data-placement:same-cell;}--> $\frac{1}{3}$of the wall space. How much did they paint together?
[3 marks]

Answer 1

Wall space painted by Shubham in a room = $\frac{2}{3}$

Wall space painted by Madhavi in a room =$\frac{1}{3}$

Total space painted by both = ($\frac{2}{3}$ + $\frac{1}{3}$)
[1 mark]

= $\frac{2+1}{3}$
[0.5 marks]

= $\frac{3}{3}$
[0.5 marks]

= 1
[0.5 marks]

∴ Shubham and Madhavi together painted 1 complete wall in a room.
