Stacy is painting her bedroom. She is able to paint 3-4 of the bedroom in 3 hours. At this rate, how long will it take her to paint the entire bedroom?

1 answer

To find out how long it will take Stacy to paint the entire bedroom, we need to divide the total area of the bedroom by the area she can paint in 3 hours.

If Stacy can paint 3-4 of the bedroom in 3 hours, she can paint 1/3 to 1/4 of the bedroom in 1 hour.

Let's calculate the time it takes for Stacy to paint 1/3 of the bedroom in 1 hour:
1 hour x 3 = <<1*3=3>>3 hours

Now let's calculate the time it takes for Stacy to paint 1/4 of the bedroom in 1 hour:
1 hour x 4 = <<1*4=4>>4 hours

Since we want an estimate between 3 and 4 hours, we can say that it will take Stacy approximately 3.5 hours to paint the entire bedroom.
