To find out how long it will take Iris to complete the entire floor, we can use ratios.
If Iris completed 23% of the floor in 1/3 of an hour, then we can set up the following proportion:
23/100 = x/1
To solve for x, we can use cross multiplication:
100x = 23
Dividing both sides by 100 gives:
x = 23/100
Converting this fraction to a decimal gives:
x = 0.23
Therefore, it will take Iris 0.23 hours to complete the entire floor.
Since 0.23 hours is equivalent to 0.23 * 60 = 13.8 minutes, we can round up to the nearest minute.
Therefore, it will take Iris approximately 14 minutes to complete the entire floor.
The correct response is 14.
