Stacy is painting her bedroom. She is able to paint 3
/4 of the bedroom in 3 hours. At this rate, how long will it take her to paint the entire room
If Stacy is able to paint 3/4 of the bedroom in 3 hours, it means she can paint 1/4 of the bedroom in 3 hours as well since 3/4 - 1/4 = 1/4
To find out how long it will take her to paint the entire room, we can set up a proportion:
3 hours = 1/4 time
time = (4 * 3) / 1
time = 12 hours
Therefore, it will take Stacy 12 hours to paint the entire room.
To find out how long it will take Stacy to paint the entire room, we need to calculate the time it takes for her to paint 1/4 of the room.
Since she can paint 3/4 of the room in 3 hours, we can divide 3 hours by 3/4:
3 hours / 3/4 = 3 hours * 4/3 = 4 hours.
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 bedroom, we need to determine the time it takes for her to paint each fraction of the bedroom.
Stacy is able to paint 3/4 of the bedroom in 3 hours, so we can set up a proportion to find the time it takes to paint 1/4 of the bedroom:
(3/4) bedroom / 3 hours = (1/4) bedroom / x hours
To solve for x, we can cross-multiply:
(3/4) * x = 3 * (1/4)
Simplifying both sides:
(3/4) * x = 3/4
Dividing both sides by 3/4:
x = 1
So, it will take Stacy 1 hour to paint 1/4 of the bedroom.
Since there are four quarters in the entire room, we can multiply the time it takes to paint one quarter by 4 to get the total time:
1 hour * 4 = 4 hours
Therefore, it will take Stacy 4 hours to paint the entire room.
