it take audrey 3/5 hour to paint 2/5 sqare yards of wood to be used for making shevels. how many sqare yards can she paint in 1 hour. as a fraction in sumplest
(3/5) / (2/5) = 1 / x....3/5 hr to 2/5 yds = 1 hr to x yds this is a proportion, so we cross multiply 3/5x = 2/5 x = 2/5 * 5/3 x = 10/15 reduces to 2/3.....Audrey can paint 2/3 square yards in 1 hr
