Question

Thomas can paint 7 sections of a fence in 2 hours. Part A: Set up a proportional relationship that shows how long it will take Thomas to paint the entire 30 section fence. Part B: How long will it take Thomas to paint the entire fence? (Round your answer to the nearest minute.)​

Answer 1

Answer: Read Below!!!

Explanation:

PART A:

So we know that the rate it’s giving us is 7 sections : 2 hours, so if we do 2 divided 7,

2/7 = 0.28571428571, 1:0.28571428571

PART B:

so we now know that 1:0.28571428571 now we multiply 0.28571428571 by thirty since we have the unit rate,

30:8.57142857143

NEAREST MINUTE: 9
