To determine how long it will take Tom to paint 6 rooms, we can first find out how long it takes him to paint one room based on the information provided.
If Tom can paint 3 rooms in 5 hours, we can calculate the time per room as follows:
\[
\text{Time per room} = \frac{5 \text{ hours}}{3 \text{ rooms}} = \frac{5}{3} \text{ hours per room}
\]
Now, to find out how long it will take him to paint 6 rooms, we multiply the time per room by the number of rooms:
\[
\text{Total time for 6 rooms} = 6 \text{ rooms} \times \frac{5}{3} \text{ hours per room} = \frac{30}{3} \text{ hours} = 10 \text{ hours}
\]
Thus, it will take Tom **10 hours** to paint 6 rooms.
If Tom can paint 3 rooms in 5 hours, we can calculate the time per room as follows:
\[
\text{Time per room} = \frac{5 \text{ hours}}{3 \text{ rooms}} = \frac{5}{3} \text{ hours per room}
\]
Now, to find out how long it will take him to paint 6 rooms, we multiply the time per room by the number of rooms:

\text{Total time for 6 rooms} = 6 \text{ rooms} \times \frac{5}{3} \text{ hours per room} = \frac{30}{3} \text{ hours} = 10 \text{ hours}
\]
Thus, it will take Tom **10 hours** to paint 6 rooms.
