Maeve and Jonathan painted part of a wall. Maeve painted 25% of the wall. Jonathan painted 1.5 times as much of the wall as Maeve painted What fraction of the entire wall did Maeve and Jonathan paint?

Answer 1

M = .25W = W/4

J=3M/2 = 3(W/4)/2 = 3W/8

J+M = 3W/8 + W/4 = 5W/8

Together they painted 5/8 of the entire wall
