Question

Jasper made a flag for his football team. He painted 1/2 of the flag blue and 1/2 of the flag yellow. He added stars to 1/3 of the blue section. What fraction of the total flag is blue section with stars?

Answer 1

For this case we have that half of the flag was painted blue and the other half yellow.

In addition, a third of the blue half was covered with stars.

So:

`\frac {1} {2} * \frac {1} {3} = \frac {1} {6}`

A sixth of the flag is blue with stars.

Answer:

`\frac {1} {6}`
