John has finished 20% of an art project that taken 3 hours if he Continues to work at the same rate how many hours will it take

15 hours to do the entire project

Step-by-step explanation:

20% is the same as 1/5.

"percent" means "per 100", so 20% means 20/100 which reduces to 1/5.

20% of an art project took 3 hours. That means that 1/5 of the art project took 3 hours. The entire project then takes 5 times as much time.

5 * 3 hours = 15 hours

It takes 15 hours to do the entire project.

15 - 3 = 12

It takes 12 more hours after 20% was done.
