It took Freddy 1/2 hr to paint 1/5 of a fence. How long in minutes will it take him to paint the whole fence? I NEED THIS ASAP

If 1/5 of the fence takes 30 minutes to paint then 5/5, or 1 whole, will take 5 times as long. So, 5 X 30 = 150 minutes.

150 minutes, multiply the 30 minutes (1/2hr) by the 1/5 of fence (x5)
