Stefanie is painting her bedroom. She can paint 12 1/3square feet in 4/5 of an hour. How many square feet can she paint in one hour

Answer 1

To find out how many square feet Stefanie can paint in one hour, we need to find the equivalent fractions for both the square footage and the time.

12 1/3 square feet can be written as a mixed fraction: 12 + 1/3 = 12 1/3 = (12*3 + 1)/3 = 37/3 square feet.

4/5 of an hour can be written as a fraction: 4/5.

To find out how many square feet she can paint in one hour, we divide the square footage by the time: (37/3)/(4/5) = (37/3)*(5/4) = (37*5)/(3*4) = 185/12.

Stefanie can paint 185/12 square feet in one hour.

Answer 2

simplify the answer.

Answer 3

To simplify the answer, we can divide both the numerator and the denominator of the fraction by their greatest common divisor, which is 1.

185/12 = (185 ÷ 1) / (12 ÷ 1) = 185/12

Therefore, the simplified answer is 185/12.

Answer 4

put it as a mixed number

Answer 5

To write 185/12 as a mixed number, we can divide 185 by 12:

185 ÷ 12 = 15 remainder 5

So, the mixed number is 15 5/12.
