If three painters can paint a house in 12 hours how long would it take 4 painters to paint a house.

solve for "k" using +three painters can paint a house in 12 hours"
3 = k/12
k = 36
----------------
Equation:
p = 36/hrs
------------
How long would it take 4 painters to paint a house?
4 = 36/hrs
----
hrs = 36/4
hrs = 9
