To find out how long it would take to paint the entire room, we can set up a proportion using the fractions provided:
1/4 of the room painted in 3/7 of an hour
Let x be the time it would take to paint the whole room.
(1/4) / (3/7) = 1 / x
Simplify the left side of the equation:
(1/4) * (7/3) = 1 / x
7/12 = 1 / x
To find x, we can multiply both sides by x:
x * 7/12 = 1
x = 12/7
Therefore, it would take Kelsey 12/7 hours to paint the entire room, which is approximately 1.71 hours.
