If Charla completes 2/3 of the area in 2/3 hours, this means she completes 1/3 of the area in 1/3 hours (since 2/3 + 1/3 = 1).
Therefore, it will take her 1/3 hours to complete 1/3 of the area.
If it takes her 1/3 hours to complete 1/3 of the area, it will take her 3/3 hours (which is equal to 1 hour) to complete the entire image.
