Caitlin is painting hey bedroom . She paints 42 square in 2/3 hour. At this rate , how many square feet can she paint in 1 hour

Answer 1

To find out how many square feet Caitlin can paint in 1 hour, we will calculate her painting rate.

Caitlin paints 42 square feet in 2/3 hour.

To find her painting rate per hour, we need to divide the number of square feet painted by the time taken:
42 square feet ÷ (2/3 hour) = 42 square feet ÷ (2/3) hour

We can simplify 2/3 as a decimal by dividing 2 by 3:
2 ÷ 3 = 0.67 (rounded to two decimal places)

Let's substitute this decimal into the equation:
42 square feet ÷ 0.67 hour ≈ 62.69 square feet per hour

Therefore, Caitlin can paint approximately 62.69 square feet in 1 hour.
