Harold took 5 hours to paint 3 same-sized walls. If he works at the same rate, how long will it take him to paint 18 walls of the same size?

Respuesta :

Answer:

30 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use ratios to solve

5 hours        x hours

-------------- = -------------

3 walls          18 walls

Using cross products

5*18 = 3x

Divide each side by 3

5*18/3 = 3x/3

30 =x

Answer:It will take Harold 30 hours to paint all 18 of the walls

Step-by-step explanation:Your multiplying the amount of walls he is painting by 6 so you do the same to the amount of hours he is painting
