Stacy is painting her be around. She is able to paint 3/4 of the bedroom in three hours. At this rate, how long will it take her to paint the entire room?
If Stacy can paint 3/4 of the bedroom in three hours, she can paint 1/4 of the bedroom in one hour. Since 1/4 of the room takes her one hour to paint, it will take her 4 * 1 = <<4*1=4>>4 hours to paint the entire room. Answer: \boxed{4}.
If Stacy is able to paint 3/4 of the bedroom in three hours, we can calculate the time it will take her to paint the entire room by setting up the following ratio:
3/4 of the room = 3 hours
1 of the room = x hours
To solve for x, we can use a proportion:
(3/4) / (1) = (3) / (x)
Cross-multiplying, we get:
3(x) = 4(3)
3x = 12
Dividing both sides by 3, we find that:
x = 12 / 3
x = 4
Therefore, it will take Stacy 4 hours to paint the entire room.
To find out how long it will take Stacy to paint the entire room, we need to use the given information that she can paint 3/4 of the room in three hours.
Let's break down the problem step by step:
1. Determine how much of the room Stacy can paint in one hour:
Since she can paint 3/4 of the room in three hours, we divide 3/4 by 3 to find out how much she can paint in one hour.
(3/4) divided by (3) = 1/4 of the room in one hour.
2. Calculate the time it will take Stacy to paint the remaining 1/4 of the room:
If Stacy can paint 1/4 of the room in one hour, the remaining 1/4 of the room would take the same amount of time.
So, it will take Stacy 1 hour to paint the remaining 1/4 of the room.
3. Add the time required to paint 3/4 of the room (3 hours) to the time required to paint the remaining 1/4 of the room (1 hour):
3 hours + 1 hour = 4 hours.
Therefore, it will take Stacy 4 hours to paint the entire room.
