Mrs Rivas bought a can of paint he used 3/8 of paint and 1/4 he also used some for a birdhouse and had 1/8 of paint left how much paint did he use for the bird house

Answer:The amount of paint used in the  birdhouse = (1/4) of paintStep-by-step explanation:The amount of paint used in first go = 3/8The amount of pain used in second go = 1/4The amount of paint used in bird house = kThe amount paint left = 1/8Now, according to the question:Paint used in ( First go + second go + Birdhouse) + Paint left = 1 can Paint⇒[tex]\frac{3}{8}  + \frac{1}{4} + k + \frac{1}{8}    = 1\\\implies \frac{3 + 1(2) + 1}{8} + k = 1\\ \frac{6}{8} + k = 1 \\\implies k = 1 - \frac{6}{8}  = \frac{8-6}{8}  = \frac{2}{8}  = \frac{1}{4} \\\implies k = \frac{1}{4}[/tex]or, The amount of paint used in the  birdhouse = (1/4)
