It takes 14 hours to seal a hardwood floor with varnish. If each coat requires 3

1/4 hours to dry,


how many coats are applied?


Sagot :

Answer:

4.3 coats

Step-by-step explanation:

if 1 coat takes 3 1/4 hours (same as 3.25 hours)

3.25 hours = 1 coat

14 hours = x coats

(cross multiply)

3.25 × x = 14 × 1

3.25x = 14

(divide both sides by 3.25)

x = 4.3

therefore, 4.3 coats are applied

hope this helps!
