It will take 8 hours for 3 people to paint the house and 24 hrs for 1 person to paint the same house
Ratio and proportion
Fractions are ratio of two integers
If 4 people can paint a house in 6 hours, the time it will take 1 person is expressed as:
Time it will take 1 person = 6(4) =24 hours
Since the number of people is proportional to time:
p = k/t
3 = 24/t
t = 24/3
t = 8hrs
Hence it will take 8 hours for 3 people to paint the house
