Based on the information given, Stacy is able to paint 34% of the bedroom in 3 hours. To find out how long it will take her to paint the entire room, we can set up a proportion:
34% ÷ 3 hours = 100% ÷ x hours
x = 3 hours * (100% ÷ 34%)
x ≈ 8.82 hours
Therefore, it will take Stacy approximately 8.82 hours to paint the entire room. Unfortunately, none of the given options match the correct answer.
To find out how long it will take Stacy to paint the entire room at the same rate, we can set up a proportion using the amount of the bedroom she can paint in a given amount of time.
We know that Stacy can paint 34 of the bedroom in 3 hours. Let's call the number of hours it will take her to paint the entire room "x".
The proportion would look like this:
34 / 3 = 100 / x
To solve for x, we can cross multiply:
34 * x = 3 * 100
Now we can solve for x:
34x = 300
Divide both sides of the equation by 34:
x = 300 / 34
Simplifying the fraction:
x ≈ 8.82
So, it will take Stacy approximately 8.82 hours to paint the entire room. Since we're asked for the answer in hours, we can round it to the nearest whole number:
Therefore, Stacy will need approximately 9 hours to paint the entire room.
To find out how long it will take Stacy to paint the entire room, we can set up a proportion based on the given information.
Since Stacy is able to paint 34 of the bedroom in 3 hours, we can set up the proportion:
34 painted / 3 hours = 100 painted / x hours
To solve for x, we can cross multiply:
34x = 3 * 100
Now we can solve for x by dividing both sides of the equation by 34:
x = (3 * 100) / 34
Simplifying further, we get:
x = 300 / 34
x ≈ 8.82
Therefore, it would take Stacy approximately 8.82 hours to paint the entire room. However, since this is a multiple-choice question, the closest given answer is 12 hours.
