Mark wants to paint a mural. He has 1 1/8 gallons of yellow paint, 1 1/9 gallons of green paint, and 7/8 gallons of blue paint. Mark plans to use 3/4 a gallon of each paint color. How many gallons of paint will he have left after painting the mural? Enter your answer as a simplified fraction.

We have 31/36 gallons of paint left after painting the mural.

Step-by-step explanation:

"Mark wants to paint a mural. He has 1 1/8 gallons of yellow paint, 1 1/9 gallons of green paint, and 7/8 gallons of blue paint. Mark plans to use 3/4 a gallon of each paint color. How many gallons of paint will he have left after painting the mural? Enter your answer as a simplified fraction."

First change each number into a improper fraction:

1 1/8 = 9/8

1 1/9 = 10/9

7/8 = 7/8

"If Mark has 9/8 gallons of yellow paint, and he uses 3/4 gallons"

  -We have to multiply 3/4 by 2/2 to make the denominators same.

3/4 × 2/2 = 6/8

Now subtract 6/8 from 9/8.

9/8 - 6/8 = 3/8

We will have 3/8 gallons of yellow paint.

"If Mark uses 10/9 gallons of green paint, and he uses 3/4 gallons"

     - We have to multiply 10/9 by 4/4, and 3/4 by 9/9, to get a common denominator.

10/9 × 4/4 = 40/36

3/4 × 9/9 = 27/36

Now subtract 27/36 from 40/36

40/36 - 27/36 = 13/36

We will have 13/36 gallons of green paint.

"If Mark uses 7/8 gallons of blue paint, and he uses 3/4 gallons"

        -We have to multiply 3/4  by 2/2 to get a common denominator.

3/4 × 2/2 = 6/8

Now subtract 6/8 from 7/8.

7/8 - 6/8 = 1/8

We will have 1/8 gallons of yellow paint.

Now, we will add the leftover amounts of paint to find the answer.

3/8 + 13/36 + 1/8

Add "like terms".

4/8 + 13/36

Simplify 4/8 into 1/2

1/2 + 13/ 36

Multiply 1/2 by 18/18 to get a common denominator.

1/2 × 18/18 = 18/36

Substitute 18/36 as 1/2 in the expression.

18/36 + 13/36 = 31/36

So, We have 31/36 gallons of paint left after painting the mural.

Hope I helped, Have a nice day!
