Question

A painter painted `3/8` of the wall of which one third is painted in yellow colour. What fraction is the yellow colour of the entire wall?

Answer 1

Painted portion of the wall = `3/8`

Of Which the yellow colour painted = `1/3`

∴ Yellow colour in the entire wall = `1/3` of `3/8`

= `1/3 xx 3/8`

= `1/8`

`1/8` of the wall is painted yellow.
