Gregory painted 1/3 of a room in 3/4 hour.
\n" ); document.write( " At this rate what fraction of the room can Gregory paint in 1 hour?
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "let x = fraction of the room painted in 1 hr
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x%2F%281%2F3%29\"$ = $\"1%2F%283%2F4%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Cross multiply
\n" ); document.write( " $\"3%2F4\"$ x = $\"1%2F3\"$
\n" ); document.write( "multiply eq, by 12, cancel the denominators and you have:
\n" ); document.write( "3(3x) = 4
\n" ); document.write( "9x = 4
\n" ); document.write( "x = $\"4%2F9\"$ of the room in 1 hr \n" ); document.write( "
