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) of an hour

1 answer

To figure out how long it will take Charla to complete the entire picture, we need to find the amount of time it takes her to complete 1/3 of the area.

Since she completes 2/3 of the area in 1/2 hour, we can divide 1/2 hour by 2 to find the time it takes her to complete 1/3 of the area.

1/2 hour divided by 2 equals 1/4 hour.

Therefore, it will take Charla 1/4 hour to complete the remaining 1/3 of the area.

So, it will take her 1/2 hour + 1/4 hour = 3/4 hour to complete the entire picture.
