Answer 2

Answer:4 painting per hour

Explanation:

Paul has 35 paintings to sell in all and atleast 19 paintings in one day to recover his cost.

he has sold 3 paintings since the morning and has 5 more hours to sell his painting

therefore he needs to sell atleast 19-3=16 paintings in 5 hours

thus he needs to sell
`(16)/(5)=3.2 paintings`

i.e. by rounding off to 4 paintings per hour
