heather is painting her house. she paints 54 square feet in 2/3 hours. at this rate, how many square feet can she paint in one hour

Answer 1

Heather is painting her house.

She paints 54 square feet in 2/3 hours.

In 2/3 hours she paint = 54 square feet

Then in 1 hour, she paint = 54 ÷ 2/3

Simplify : 54 ÷ 2/3

`\begin{gathered} 54/(2)/(3)=54*(3)/(2) \\ 54/(2)/(3)=27*3 \\ 54/(2)/(3)=81\text{ square f}eet \end{gathered}`

In one hour, she can paint 81 square feet of the wall

Answer : In one hour, she can paint 81 square feet of the wall
