Mike is mixing paint for his walls. He mixes 1/6 gallon blue paint and 5/8 gallon green paint in the large container. What fraction represents...

Blue paint which mike mixes = 1/6

Green paint that mike mixes = 5/8

Total quantity of paint = 1/6 + 5/8

To add these two, we have to make their denominator same, for this take LCM of denominators 6, 8

Their LCM will be 24, now divide 24 by denominator of each fraction and multiply it with numerator...

(1×4+5×3)/24 = (4+15)/24 = 19/24

19/24 is the fraction of paint in the total mixture.

Rest, that is,1-19/24 = (24-19)/24 = 5/24 may be thinner or other chemical
