Question

Stefanie is painting her bedroom. She can paint square feet in of an hour. How many square feet can she paint in one hour?

Answer 1

To find out how many square feet Stefanie can paint in one hour, we need to divide the total area she can paint by the time it takes. Since Stefanie can paint 3 square feet in 1/4 of an hour, we divide 3 by 1/4:

3 ÷ 1/4 = 3 × 4/1 = 12/1 = 12.

Therefore, Stefanie can paint 12 square feet in one hour.
