Answer:
[tex]\text{Part of poster board painted by May}=\frac{1}{2}[/tex]
[tex]\text{Part of poster board painted by Jared}=\frac{1}{2}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
We have been given that painted 4 out of 8 equal part of a poster board blue.
Let us represent this information in a fraction, where numerator is 4 and denominator is 8 as:
[tex]\text{Part of poster board painted by May}=\frac{4}{8}[/tex]
[tex]\text{Part of poster board painted by May}=\frac{1}{2}[/tex]
We are also told that Jared painted 2 out of 4 equal parts of a same-size poster board.
[tex]\text{Part of poster board painted by Jared}=\frac{2}{4}[/tex]
[tex]\text{Part of poster board painted by Jared}=\frac{1}{2}[/tex]
Since both poster boards are of same size, so May and Jared painted same amount of the board.
Therefore, May and Jared each painted [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] of the poster board.
