The correct answer is: 12 hours
To find out how long it will take Stacy to paint the entire room, we can use a ratio to compare the amount of the room she can paint in 3 hours to the total amount of the room.
If Stacy can paint 34 of the bedroom in 3 hours, then we can set up the ratio:
34 / 3 = x / 1
Where x represents the total amount of time it will take her to paint the entire room.
To solve for x, we can cross-multiply:
34 * 1 = 3 * x
34 = 3x
Dividing both sides by 3 gives us:
x = 34 / 3
x ≈ 11.33
So at this rate, it will take Stacy approximately 11.33 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 information given: she is able to paint 34 of the bedroom in 3 hours.
First, we need to figure out how much of the room Stacy can paint in 1 hour. We do this by dividing the amount of the room she can paint in 3 hours (34) by the number of hours (3): 34/3 = 11.33.
Since we cannot have a fraction of an hour, we round this number to the nearest whole number. In this case, it is 11.
Therefore, Stacy can paint approximately 11 of the bedroom in one hour. To find out how long it will take her to paint the entire room (100% or 100), we divide the total room (100) by the amount of the room she can paint in one hour (11).
100/11 = 9.09.
Again, since we cannot have a fraction of an hour, we round this number to the nearest whole number. In this case, it is 9.
Therefore, it will take Stacy approximately 9 hours to paint the entire room.
