It takes Audrey 3/5 hour to paint 2/5


square yards of wood to be used for making shelves.


How many square yards can she paint in 1 hour?

Verified Answer :

If she uses 3/5 hour to paint 2/5 square yards, how many square yards can she paint in 1 hour?
If 3/5 hr=2/5 square yards
   1 hr=?
1/(3/5)*2/5 square yards=2/3 square yards
Therefore she can paint 2/3 square yards in 1 hour.

Answer:

\(\frac{2}{3}\) square yards

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that

Audrey paint area of woods in \(\frac{3}{5}\) hours=\(\frac{2}{5}\) square yards

We have to find the how many square of yards she can paint in 1 hour.

By unitary method

Audrey can paint area of woods in \(\frac{3}{5} hours=[tex]\frac{2}{5}\)square yards

Audrey can  paint area of wood in 1 hour=\(\frac{\frac{2}{5}}{\frac{3}{5}}\)

Audrey can paint area of wood in 1 hour=\(\frac{2}{5}\times \frac{5}{3}=\frac{2}{3}\) square yards

Hence, Audrey can paint \(\frac{2}{3}\) square yards in 1 hour.
