It takes audrey 3/5 hour to paint 2/5 square yards of wood to be used for making shelves. how many square yards can she paint in 1 hour? enter your answer in the box as a fraction in simplest form.

This is how I would do it;

Convert to minutes 3/5 *60 = 36
Convert this to decimal 2/5 = 0.4

Then;

if it takes 36 mnts to paint 0.4yd^
in 60 mnts x yd^


60 x 0.4 / 36 = 0.66666667

convert back to fraction = 2/3 yd^ in 1hr

1. isolate the variable, in this case, d. subtract 35.5 on both sides of the equation.2. 52 subtracted by 35.5 is 16.53. therefore your answer would be d= 16.5this is the basics of pre algebra, isolating variable through adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing, if you have any other questions to ask just comment!
