Answer:

The answer is 1/2 an hour

Explanation:

  1. First, you know that in 1/4 of an hour, you paint 1/2 of the wall
  2. Since we know that it took them 1/4 of an hour to paint half of the wall, to paint the other half of the wall it would also take 1/4 of an hour
  3. Then, 1/4 + 1/4 = 2/4
  4. So it takes 2/4 of an hour to finish painting one wall.
  5. Lastly, you can reduce 2/4 to 1/2

So your final answer is 1/2 hour
