Question

Carly can paint 6/7 of a picture in 3/14 of an hour how many pictures can they paint in a full hour

Answer 1

4 paintings in a full hour

Work:

Carly painted 6/7 of a picture in 3/14 hours:

6/7=3/14

Which means Carly painted 2/7 of a picture in 1/14 hours:

2/7=1/14

We need to find how many paintings she can paint in 1 full hour, or 14/14 of an hour, how do you get from 1/14 to 14/14? You do multiplication:

1/14 x 14 = 14/14

but there is a rule that says what you do to one side of the equation, you need to do it to the other side too so:

2/7 x 14=1/14 x 14

28/7=14/14

28/7=4

Answer 2

28/7 which is equivalent to 4 painting in a full hour, this is because Carly can paint 2/7 in 1/14 of an hour multiply the 2 times 14 and get 28/7 or 4 which is you’re answer
