To find the amount of time it will take Stacy to paint the entire room, we can set up a proportion.
We know that Stacy can paint 3/4 of the room in 3 hours. Let x be the amount of time it will take her to paint the entire room.
So, we can set up the proportion:
(3/4) / 3 = 1 / x
To solve for x, we can cross multiply:
3x = 4
x = 4 / 3
Therefore, it will take Stacy 4/3 hours to paint the entire room.
So the correct answer is 9/4 hours.
