Question

Charla wants to cover a certain rectangular area of her driveway with a picture using chalk. If she completes 23 of the area in 12 hour, how long will it take her to complete the entire picture?(1 point) _of an hour

Answer 1

To find out how long it will take Charla to complete the entire picture, we can set up a proportion:

23% of the area / 12 hours = 100% of the area / x hours

Cross-multiplying, we get:

23% * x = 100% * 12

Simplifying this equation, we get:

0.23x = 12

Dividing both sides by 0.23, we find:

x = 52.17391304347826

Therefore, it will take Charla approximately 52.17 hours to complete the entire picture.
