Answer: 1/7

Explanation:

From the question, we are informed that it takes Deanna seven hours to paint a fence. The fraction of the fence does she paint in one hour will be one divided by seven hours which can mathematically be written as:

= 1/7

This means that she'll paint 1/7 of the fence in 1 hour.
