Question 397920: If 2 square feet of a fence can be painted in 10 minutes, how long will it take to paint 150 feet (squared) of fence? NOTE: The base of the fence is 25 ft long and the height is 6 ft.
This is my work:
+A=b%2Ah+
+A=25%2A6+
+A=150+ft%5E2+
(2 sq ft=10 minutes)
150 ft=750 minutes 750 min/10 minutes=75 minutes= 1hr15min*2=2hrs30min

:
If 2 sq/ft require 10 min, then 1 sq/ft required 5 min
therefore
150*5 = 750 min, right?
