To determine how long it will take Stacy to paint the entire room, we can set up a proportion using the given information:
3/4 of the room = 3 hours
Let x be the time it takes to paint the entire room.
We can set up the proportion:
(3/4) / 3 = (1) / x
Cross-multiplying, we have:
3x = 4 * 3
3x = 12
x = 12 / 3
x = 4
Therefore, it will take Stacy 4 hours to paint the entire room.
The correct answer is 4 hours.
