To find out how long it will take Charla to complete the entire picture, we can set up a proportion using the information given.
Let's say it will take x hours for Charla to complete the entire picture.
We can set up the proportion as follows:
(2/3) / (1/2) = 1 / x
To solve for x, we can cross multiply:
(2/3) * x = (1/2) * 1
2x/3 = 1/2
Multiplying both sides of the equation by 6 (the least common multiple of 3 and 2), we get:
2x * 2 = 3 * 1
4x = 3
Dividing both sides of the equation by 4, we get:
x = 3/4
Therefore, it will take Charla 3/4 of an hour to complete the entire picture, or 45 minutes.
