To find out how long it will take Stacy to paint the entire room, we can set up a proportion.
If Stacy can paint 3/4 of the room in 3 hours, then in 1 hour she can paint 3/4 / 3 = 1/4 of the room.
Therefore, it will take her 1 / (1/4) = 4 hours to paint the entire room.
So the correct answer is 4 hours.
