Question

A boy can paint 2 posters in 4 hours. If he paints for 10 hours, then how many posters canhe paint?

• A. 6 posters
• B. 8 posters
• C. 10 posters
• D. 5 posters

Answer 1

The correct option is D 5 posters

Number of posters painted in 4 hours = 2
Hence, the number of posters painted in one hour
$=\frac{2}{4}=\frac{1}{2}$

If the boy paints for 10 hours,
the number of posters that will be painted
$=10\times \frac{1}{2}=5\text{posters}$
