Students write fraction equations or number sentences, compute quantities of painted parts, and express remaining amounts as fractions. Includes multi-part tasks on combined coloring, larger-fraction comparisons, and a challenge problem requiring solving for blue, green, purple, and the final purple fraction of the border.
