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 room?(1 point)Responses

Answer 1

To find out how long it will take Stacy to paint the entire room, we can set up a proportion.

If Stacy can paint 3/4 of the bedroom in 3 hours, then we can say that 3/4 of the room is equivalent to 3 hours.

Let's set up the proportion:

(3/4) / x = 3 / 1

Cross-multiplying, we get: (3/4) * 1 = 3 * x

Simplifying the equation: 3/4 = 3x

Dividing both sides by 3, we get: 1/4 = x

So, Stacy will take 1/4 or 0.25 of an hour to paint the remaining 1/4 of the room.

In other words, it will take Stacy 0.25 hours or 15 minutes to paint the entire room.
