If Charla completes 2/3 of the area in 1/2 hour how long will it take her to complete the entire picture

Answer 1

To find out how long it will take Charla to complete the entire picture, we will set up a proportion.

Since Charla completes 2/3 of the area in 1/2 hour, we can write this as:

(2/3) / (1/2) = 1 / x

To solve for x, we will cross multiply:

2/3 = (1/2) * (1/x)

Multiplying through by x:

(2/3) * x = 1/2

Multiply both sides by 3/2 to isolate x:

x = (1/2) * (3/2)

x = 3/4

Therefore, it will take Charla 3/4 of an hour to complete the entire picture.
