At the same rate, how long will it take to paint the entire room? Answer by josmiceli(19441) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! If 2/3 of a room can be painted in 1 hour, then
3 times that can be painted in 3 hours, so = 2 rooms can be painted in 3 hours
and 1 room can be painted in half that time, so
1 room can be painted in 1 and a half hours
