Answer 1

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.
