Ralph painted 1/6 of a wall in 2/3 hour. At this rate how many hours will it take Ralph to paint the whole wall?

Respuesta :

Answer:

4 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

1/6 is one segment

6 segments make a whole

6/6 = 1

2/3 is equal to one segment

2/3 * 6 = 4

Answer:

It will take 4 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the size of  whole wall be x.

Given that

Ralph painted 1/6 of a wall in 2/3 hours

thus, writing it in mathematical form we have,

time taken to pain 1/6 of x = 2/3 hours

=time taken to pain x/6 wall = 2/3 hours

since, we have taken size as x so to find time to pain x size of wall ,

we divide both side by 6

=time taken to pain x/6 * 6 wall = 2/3 *6 hours

= time taken to paint x wall = 4 hours
