The correct answer is 4 hours.

If Stacy is able to paint 3/4 of the bedroom in 3 hours, we can set up a proportion to find out how long it will take her to paint the entire room.

3/4 bedroom = 3 hours
1 bedroom = x hours (unknown time)

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

Multiplying both sides by 4/3, we get:
x = 12/3

Simplifying, we find that x = 4.

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

The correct answer is 6 hours.

If Miguel has driven 2/3 of the total distance in 4 hours, we can set up a proportion to find out how long the total drive will take.

2/3 distance = 4 hours
1 distance = x hours (unknown time)

Cross multiplying, we have:
(2/3) * x = 4 * 1

Multiplying both sides by 3/2, we get:
x = (4 * 3) / 2

Simplifying, we find that x = 12 / 2 = 6.

Therefore, it will take Miguel 6 hours to reach his destination.
