You paint 1/2 wall in 1/4 hour. At that rate, how long will it take you to paint one wall?

Answer 1

To find out how long it will take to paint one wall, we need to first determine the amount of time it takes to paint 1/2 wall.

Given: You paint 1/2 wall in 1/4 hour.

To find the time it takes to paint 1/2 wall, we divide 1/4 hour by 1/2 wall:

1/4 hour ÷ 1/2 wall = 1/4 ÷ 1/2
= 1/4 × 2/1
= 2/4

Therefore, it takes 2/4 hour to paint 1/2 wall.

To find the time it takes to paint one wall, we multiply the time it takes to paint 1/2 wall by 2:

2/4 hour × 2 = 4/4 hour

Therefore, it will take 4/4 hour or 1 hour to paint one wall.
