Question

paint the entire room? (1 point)

Answer 1

To find out how long it will take Stacy to paint the entire room, we can use the concept of proportions.

If Stacy is able to paint 3/4 of the room in 3 hours, then we can set up the following proportion:

(3/4) room / 3 hours = (1) room / x hours

To find the value of x (the time it will take Stacy to paint the entire room), we can cross multiply:

(3/4) room * x hours = (1) room * 3 hours

Multiplying the fractions, we get:

(3x/4) hours = 3 hours

To isolate x (the time it will take Stacy), we can divide both sides of the equation by (3/4) hours:

x = (3 hours) / (3/4) hours

Dividing, we get:

x = 4 hours

Therefore, it will take Stacy 4 hours to paint the entire room.
