You paint 1/2 wall in 1/4 hour. At that rate, how long will it take you to paint one wall?
To find out how long it will take to paint one wall, we need to first determine the amount of time it takes to paint 1/2 wall.
Given: You paint 1/2 wall in 1/4 hour.
To find the time it takes to paint 1/2 wall, we divide 1/4 hour by 1/2 wall:
1/4 hour ÷ 1/2 wall = 1/4 ÷ 1/2
= 1/4 × 2/1
= 2/4
Therefore, it takes 2/4 hour to paint 1/2 wall.
To find the time it takes to paint one wall, we multiply the time it takes to paint 1/2 wall by 2:
2/4 hour × 2 = 4/4 hour
Therefore, it will take 4/4 hour or 1 hour to paint one wall.
