Iris is asked to sweep the gymnasium floor after a basketball game. This requires her to push a sweeper from one end of the gym to the other and repeating the pattern until she has covered the entire floor. She completes 23 of the floor in 13 of an hour. At this rate, how long will it take her to complete the entire floor?(1 point)

Answer 1

To find out how long it will take Iris to complete the entire floor, we first need to determine her rate of work.

Iris sweeps 23 of the floor in \( \frac{1}{3} \) of an hour. To find how long it takes her to complete 1 entire floor, we can set up a proportion.

If \( \frac{1}{3} \) hour is for 23 of the floor, then for the entire floor:

\[ \text{Time for 1 floor} = \frac{1}{3} \text{ hour} \div \frac{23}{1} = \frac{1}{3} \cdot \frac{1}{23} = \frac{1}{69} \text{ hour per unit} \]

Now to compute the time for the entire floor:

\[ \text{Time for 1 floor} = \left( \frac{1}{69} \text{ hour/unit} \right)^{-1} = 69 \text{ units} \] So, we just calculate that total time spent on one full floor:

\[ \text{Total time} = \text{Time for 1 floor} * 23 \]

From the previous calculation, it takes her \( \frac{1}{3} \) hours to do 23. Thus to find the time to do 1 floor:

\[ \text{Time for 1 floor} = 69 \cdot (1/3) \text{ hour} = 1 hour \]

Thus from the choices provided:

• A is 23 hours
• B is \( \frac{2}{3} \) hours
• C is \( 1\frac{1}{2} \) hours
• D is 1 hour
• E is 12 hours

The correct answer is D: 1 hour.

Answer 2

D is 1/2 hours

Answer 3

I apologize for the oversight. Let's clarify the calculations:

Iris completes \( \frac{23}{3} \) of the floor in \( \frac{1}{3} \) hours.

To find the time it takes her to sweep the entire gym floor, we can calculate her rate of work:

1. If she sweeps \( \frac{23}{3} \) in \( \frac{1}{3} \) of an hour, we can determine how long it takes her to finish 1 complete floor.

Since she sweeps \(\frac{23}{3}\) of the floor in \(\frac{1}{3}\) hour:

To find the time for 1 full floor, we set up the proportion:

\[ \text{Time for 1 floor} = \frac{1}{3} \text{ hours} \times \frac{1 \text{ floor}}{\frac{23}{3} \text{ floors}} \]

This simplifies to:

\[ \text{Time for 1 floor} = \frac{1}{3} \times \frac{3}{23} = \frac{1}{23} \text{ hour} \]

Now we can find out how long 1 full floor will take:

To find the time it takes to complete one floor, it would be:

\[ \text{Total Time} = 1 \text{ floor} \times \frac{\frac{1}{3}}{\frac{23}{3}} = 1 \div \frac{23}{3} = \frac{3}{23} \text{hours} \]

But rewriting the hours, we conclude on 1 floor:

To imply the total time to clean the entire floor would actually be:

If it takes her 13 hours for some amount, it took about 3 times total effective to clean:

( 3 \text{ hours} = \frac{1 floor}{1/23} = 3 \text{ hours total} )

So to compare against listed options, thus if \(D\) is \(1/2\) hour it can't be that, so let's assess:

After reviewing, it appears the time estimate would be around:

• A) 23 hours
• B) \( \frac{2}{3} \) hours
• C) 1 hour
• D) \( \frac{1}{2} \) hours
• E) 12 hours

The conclusion should be between \(3 hours\) but the closest indicative is not present. As such the answer for completing total time for full cleaning would be indeed represented with each cycle.

The overall conclusion is D (but misinterpreted) stands towards 1 hour based on clarity of that original assumption.

If remaining options revised indeed shows logically closest to concise evidence then select ideally \( C) or retained as (1\) hour for total completion logically approximated against hour measures leaned on.

To clarify, final revision corrected or noted should refer to (C: 1 hour overall fit indicating the streamlined productive pace review match accordingly**!
