Question 1199517
.
#6. Before Joey paints his house, he puts blue paint into 2 buckets of different sizes. 
He notices that the volume of the larger bucket is 3 times the volume of the smaller bucket. 
Joey estimates that the larger bucket is 1/4 full and the smaller bucket 
is one-third full. He decides to pour all the paint in the larger
bucket. After that, how full is the larger bucket?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


<pre>
At the beginning, the small bucket was 1/3 full.


It means that the volume of the blue paint in the small bucket was  {{{(1/3)*(1/3)}}} = {{{1/9}}}  of 
the volume of the large bucket.


Hence, the total volume of the paint in the large bucket after pouring is

    {{{1/4}}} + {{{1/9}}} = {{{9/36 + 4/36}}} = {{{13/36}}}  of the volume of the large bucket.


<U>ANSWER</U>. After pouring all the paint in the larger bucket, it is  {{{13/36}}}  gull.

Solved.
