You have a 32 foot fence around a square garden there are four equal sections you Paint 1/3 of the section of the fence what fraction of the fence did you paint

Hi!

So, 32/4=8. Each side is 8 feet long, with a square area of 64 ft^2. If you devide 32/3, that's 10.6 feet you painted. That aside, it's not what the question asks.

If you painted 1/3, and there are four sides, 12 can be used as it is the lcm (least common multiple). 4/12 can be used here, I believe.

Answer:

¹/₁₂  

Step-by-step explanation:

Data:

32 ft fence

4 equal sections

⅓ section painted

Calculations:

(a) Length of a section

l = 32 ft/4 sections = 8 ft/section

(b) Length of section painted

Painted = ⅓ × 8 ft = ⁸/₃ ft

(c) Fraction of fence painted

Fraction = (⁸/₃)/32  

             = ⁸/₃ × ¹/₃₂     Divide numerator and denominator by 8

              = ⅓  × ¼      Multiply numerators and denominators

              = ¹/₁₂

You painted ¹/₁₂ of the fence.
