Evelin Booker · Answer 1

1 1/2.

Step-by-step explanation:

If 1/2 of a cup covers 1/3 add it twice you get 2/2 and you get 2/3 add it one more time and you get 1 1/2 or 3/3.

Kaeden · Answer 2

1 1/2 cups of paint

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiply 1/2 cups by 3 to cover the entire sign

1/2 * 3/1 = 3/2

Divide 3 by 2 to get a mixed number = 1 1/2
