Answer:

5/7 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

You can solve it by proportion:

3/7 hours = 3/5 room

x hours = 1 room

x=[tex]\frac{3/7 * 1}{3/5}[/tex]

x=5/7 hours

Answer: [tex]\dfrac{5}{7}[/tex] of an hour

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : It takes [tex]\dfrac{3}{7}[/tex] of an hour to paint [tex]\dfrac{3}{5}[/tex] of a room.

i.e. Time taken to paint [tex]\dfrac{3}{5}[/tex] of a room.= [tex]\dfrac{3}{7}[/tex] of an hour.

Using Unitary Method, we have

Time taken to paint one room.= [tex]\dfrac{3}{7}\times\dfrac{5}{3}[/tex] of an hour.

⇒Time taken to paint one room=[tex]\dfrac{5}{7}[/tex] of an hour.

Hence, it will take [tex]\dfrac{5}{7}[/tex] of an hour to paint one room.
