Answer:
The correct answer is A
Step-by-step explanation:
Neil has 3 partially full cans of white paint
[tex]\text{Paint contained by the first can = }\frac{1}{3}\text{ gallons}[/tex]
[tex]\text{Paint contained by then second can = }\frac{1}{5}\text{ gallons}[/tex]
[tex]\text{Paint contained by the third can = }\frac{1}{2}\text{ gallons}[/tex]
[tex]\text{So, Paint contained by all the three cans = }\frac{1}{3}+\frac{1}{5}+\frac{1}{2}\text{ gallons}[/tex]
[tex]\text{So, Paint contained by all the three cans = }\frac{31}{30}\text{ gallons}[/tex]
[tex]\text{Now, }\frac{31}{30}<1\tfrac{1}{2}[/tex]
Hence, The correct answer is A.
