Answer:
Ben painted [tex]\frac{4}{15}[/tex] of the room
Step-by-step explanation:
For this, you must add [tex]\frac{2}{5} + \frac{1}{3}[/tex]
5 (3) = 15
In order to get 5 to 15, you multiply by 3, therefore
2(3) = 6
In order to get 3 to 15, you multiply by 5, therefore
1(5) = 5
Which means you now have,
[tex]\frac{6}{15} + \frac{5}{15}[/tex]
Which is equal to
[tex]\frac{11}{14}[/tex]
Now an equation can be set up
11 + X = 15
-11 -11
X = 4
