Trevor paints 1/6 of the fence surrounding his farm each day. How many days will it take him to paint 3/4 of the fence? 1/6= 0.167 per day
0.1667 So in one day Trevor can paint almost 17% of the fence.

3/4 = 0.75 days=?
0.75 / 0.17 = 4.4

Hence Trevor can paint the surrounding fence of the farm in 4 days, 75% completion.
