Question

Stacy is painting her bedroom. She is able to paint 3/4 of the bedroom and three hours at this rate. How long will it take her to paint the entire room is it six hours four hours 947 hours or 12 hours

Answer 1

If Stacy is able to paint 3/4 of the bedroom in three hours, then she will be able to paint 1/4 of the bedroom in 3/4 of that time.

1/4 * 3/4 = 3/16

So Stacy can paint 3/16 of the bedroom in three hours.

To figure out how long it will take her to paint the entire room, we can set up a proportion:

(3/16) / 3 = 1 / x

Cross multiplying, we get:

3 * x = 16 * 1
3x = 16
x = 16 / 3

Therefore, it will take Stacy approximately 5.33 hours to paint the entire room. Rounded to the nearest whole number, it will take her 5 hours.
