The problem we are working is: If John can paint half of a room in two-thirds of an hour, what part of the room can he paint in a full hour?

Use the table at the right. What part of the room will John paint in one hour?

0.75(3/4) part of the room

Step-by-step explanation:

0.75(3/4) part of the room

Step-by-step explanation:

if he takes 2/3 hours to paint 0.5 room

then he will take 1 hour to paint x

cross multiply we have

x= 0.5/2/3

x=0.5*3/2

x= 1.5/2

x=0.75 part of the room

75/100= 15/20=3/4 part

1/8 3/16 3/4

step-by-step explanation:

you put them as all the same denominator and multiply
