Question

Ella takes 1 3/5 hours to complete a
painting. Holly takes 3/4 of the time that
Ella takes. How long will Holly take to complete 5 paintings?

Answer 1

Answer:

6 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

FInding Holly's time of Ella's

Ella = $1 \frac{3}{5}$

Holly = $\frac{3}{4} \:\mathrm{of}\:1 \frac{3}{5}$

Solve:

$\frac{3}{4} \:\mathrm{of}\:1 \frac{3}{5}$

$= \frac{3}{4} \times1 \frac{3}{5}$

$1\frac{3}{5} =\frac{8}{5}$

$\frac{3}{4}\times \frac{8}{5}=\frac{24}{20}$

$\frac{24}{20} =\frac{6}{5}$

Now, we can find how many hours it takes holly to complete 5 paintings:

$\frac{6}{5}\times5$

$=6$

Therefore, it will take Holly 6 hours to complete 5 paintings.
