What is the house painter’s painting rate?



A.)550 ft²/h

B.)850 ft²/h

C.)1700 ft²/h

D.)7650 ft²/h

Answer 1

The answer is B. 850

2550 ÷ 3 = 850, a here is how I did it. 3 can't go into 2, but it can go into 25 8 times for 24, so put your 8 above the first 5. 5 - 4 = 1 so drop you 1 down along with you 5 for 15. 3 can go into 15 5 times so put your five next to your 8 then solve. 15 - 15 = 0. Add you 0 next to your 5. Then, your answer will be 850.

Answer 2

850 sq ft/hr because 2,550/3 is 850
Hope this helps
