Question

Paul is a professional wallpaper hanger and can wallpaper 120 ft squared in 30 minutes. He will be papering four walls in a house. They measure 6 ft times 11 ft​, 8 ft times 11 ft​, 11 ft times 8 ft​, and 10 ft times 12 ft. How many minutes will it take him to paper all four​ walls?

GPT 3.5 · Answer

First, we need to calculate the total square footage of all four walls.

Wall 1: 6 ft x 11 ft = 66 ft²
Wall 2: 8 ft x 11 ft = 88 ft²
Wall 3: 11 ft x 8 ft = 88 ft²
Wall 4: 10 ft x 12 ft = 120 ft²

Total square footage = 66 ft² + 88 ft² + 88 ft² + 120 ft² = 362 ft²

Since Paul can wallpaper 120 ft² in 30 minutes, he can wallpaper 362 ft² in:
362 ft² / 120 ft² = 3.02

So, it will take him:
3.02 x 30 minutes = 90.6 minutes

Therefore, it will take Paul approximately 91 minutes to paper all four walls.
