Paige decided to paint 45
of the rooms in her home last year. By the end of the year, Paige completed 23
of those rooms. How much of Paige’s home was painted last year?
To find out how much of Paige's home was painted last year, we need to calculate the fraction of rooms she painted.
Fraction of rooms painted = Number of rooms painted / Total number of rooms
Fraction of rooms painted = 23 / 45
Now, we can simplify this fraction by dividing both the numerator and denominator by the greatest common factor, which is 1 in this case.
Fraction of rooms painted = 23 / 45 = 23 rooms painted of the 45 total rooms
So, Paige painted approximately 51.1% of her home last year.
