If Charla completes 2/3 of the area in 1/2 hour, that means she can complete 1/3 of the area in 1/2 hour as well (since 1 - 2/3 = 1/3).
Therefore, it will take her 1/2 hour to complete 1/3 of the area.
Since 1/3 is half of 2/3, it will take her the same amount of time, which is 1/2 hour to complete the other half of the area.
Hence, it will take Charla 1/2 hour to complete the entire picture.
Charla wants to cover a certain rectangular area of her driveway with a picture using chalk. If she completes 2/3 of the area in 1/2 hour, how long will it take her to complete the entire picture?(1 point) give me a more simpler answer
