Problems encountered in word problems involving fractions

Dear all,

If you need additional help in solving any of the questions in the 3 word problems worksheets involving fractions, please me know through the "comment" function.

Please state the worksheet and question number clearly.
It will even be better if you can quote me the entire question.

Have fun with the problems! Haha...

Cheers.... Mr Ang

(1 over 6) of the room and a blue carpet covers

Samuel,

You can try...

1) finding the fraction of the floor area covered by the two carpets.

2) multplying the fraction to the floor area of the room to get the answer.

Try again.... let me know if you still cannot get the answer. :P
