Stacy is able to paint 3/4 of the bedroom in three hours. To find out how long it will take her to paint the entire room, we need to determine the time it takes for 1/4 of the room to be painted.
Since 3/4 of the room is painted in three hours, we can divide 3 by 3/4:
3 รท 3/4 = 3 * 4/3 = 12/3 = 4
Thus, it takes Stacy 4 hours to paint 1/4 of the room.
To find the total time to paint the entire room, we add the time taken to paint 3/4 of the room (3 hours) to the time needed to paint 1/4 of the room (4 hours):
3 hours + 4 hours = 7 hours
Therefore, the answer is 7 hours.
