Claire wants to cover a rectangle area of her driveway with a picture if she cover 2/5 of the area in 1/2 hour how much would she get done in 1hr

Question

4/5
2/3
1/5
1 1/5

Answer 1

To determine how much of the area Claire can cover in 1 hour, we start by finding the rate at which she covers the area.

1. Claire covers \( \frac{2}{5} \) of the area in \( \frac{1}{2} \) hour.
2. To find her rate of covering the area per hour, we can double the amount of area covered in \( \frac{1}{2} \) hour: \[ \text{Area covered in 1 hour} = 2 \times \frac{2}{5} = \frac{4}{5} \]

So, Claire can cover \( \frac{4}{5} \) of the area in 1 hour.

The answer is \( \frac{4}{5} \).
