Problema Solution
The area of a room to paint is 50 square feet. After 2 hours of painting, there is 35 square feet left to paint. What is the relationship between the area to paint and the time in hours.
Answer provided by our tutors
In 2 hours the area that is painted is 50 - 35 = 15 square feet.
Dividing the area that is painted with the time of the painting gives the rate of painting:
15/2 = 7.5 square feet per hour (the relationship between the area to paint and the time in hours)
