Answer

Find out the how many square yards can she paint in 1 hour .

To prove

As given


It\ takes\ audrey\ (3)/(5)hours\ paint\ (2)/(5) squareyards\ of\ wood.

Now find out the 1 hour .

As


(3)/(5)\ hour = (2)/(5)\ square\ yard


1\ hour = ( (2)/(5))/((3)/(5))\ square\ yards

solving the above


1\ hour = (2* 5)/(5* 3)\ square\ yards


1\ hour = (2)/(3)\ square\ yards

Therefore


(2)/(3)\ square\ yards\ can\ audrey\ paint\ in\ 1 hour .
