Hi, dear tutors, professors and helpers:
I will need your guidance with t his problem.
if it takes a student 3 hours to paint a rectangular wall that measures 24 feet by 10 feet, working at the same speed, how long should it take him to paint a wall that measures 16 feet by 18 feet?
The first that came to my mind was to find the respective areas of the two walls.
A= l * w
Wall 1 = 240 ft^2
Wall 2 = 288 ft^2
Any hint for the next best move?.
Thanks in advance,
eddy
