Question

Joe painted 1/4 of a bedroom in 1/2 a day. How many days will it take for Joe to paint one bedroom?

Answer 1

2 days. he paints 1/4 of a bedroom in half a day so add a 1/4 and at the same time add half a day

Answer 2

Hey there!

If it takes Joe half a day to paint 1/4th of a bedroom, we can multiply that time by 4 to find how many days it takes to paint one bedroom.


`(1)/(4)*4=1`


`(1)/(2)*4=2`

It will take Joe 2 days to paint one whole bedroom.

Hope this helped you out! :-)
