Question 532117: After working 6 hours, a house painter has painted 12% of a house. How many hours will the entire house take to paint. Solve by using a proportion. Answer by oberobic(2304) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! The rate of work described is 12/100 of the house in 6 hours or
12/100*1/6 = 12/600 = 1/50 of the job per hour.
So it will take 50 hours to finish the job.
