Answer 2

4 paintings per hour.

Explanation:

W have been given that the art show is open for 8 hours each day for 5 days. At the conclusion of the art show, Maria has sold 160 paintings. We are asked to find the number of paintings Maria sold per hour.

First of all, we will find the time for which art show was open into hours by multiplying 8 by 5.

`8* 5=40`

To find the paintings Maria sold per hour, we will divide total paintings by 40 hours as:

`\text{Paintings Maria sold per hour}=\frac{160\text{ paintings}}{40\text{ hours}}`

`\text{Paintings Maria sold per hour}=\frac{4\text{ paintings}}{\text{ hour}}`

Therefore, Maria sold 4 paintings per hour.
