Candy has to paint a fence. if she can paint 2/3 of each section in 1/2 hour, and there are 9 sections , how long will it take her to paint the entire fence?

hours

First, find the time it takes to paint each section with this formula:

You can use keep, change, flip, to make this multiplication.

Multiply the numerators.

Multiply the denominators.

So, it takes hour to paint one section of fence.

Now, we just need to find how long it takes to paint 9 sections.

Multiply.

Finally, simplify.

question:

could we have options?

a

step-by-step explanation:

when a number is between two straight lines it means the absolute value.

to find absolute value you need to know how many numbers is that number away from 0.

when finding absolute value the number will always come out positive

so absolute value of -3 is 3

absolute value of 3/2 is 3/2

absolute value of -2 is 2

absolute value of 3.5 is 3.5

absolute value of -1 is 1

now put these numbers in order:

a)   |-1|, |3/2|, |-2|, |-3|, |3.5|
