You paint 1/3 of a wall in 1/4 hour. at that rate, how long will it take you to paint one wall?

It will take you 3/4 of an hour, or 45 minutes to paint 1 wall.

1/3 of a wall takes 1/4 hour to paint, by hypothesis.
So you still have 2/3 of that wall.
2/3 = 1/3 + 1/3
So T(2/3) = 1/4 + 1/4 = 2/4.

Which means that the 2/3 of the wall left will take 2/4 hours.

T(1/3) + T(2/3) = T(3/3) = 1/4 + 2/4 = 3/4

So to paint one wall, it will take you 3/4 hours.

Hope this helps! :)

I'll do the first one for you. it isn't very hard at all.on number one, you have (50 × 3), which equals 150, and (3 × 3), which equals 9. after you establish that, you add 150 and 9 together. so, (150 + 9) equals 159.this means that 53 × 3 = 159.
