<em><u>Answer:</u></em>
Around 4 : 3 because the measurements might not be perfect.
<em><u>Step-by-step explanation:</u></em>
So the ratio of the NEW : ORIGINAL is just one side of the rectangle to the other side of the original one.
We know that the newer rectangle (or the larger one) has 4 cm as its side and that the original one (the smaller one) has 3cm as its side. Then we can create the ratio of NEW : ORIGINAL as: 4 : 3
Answer:

Answer: 3 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
Here is the correct question:
Betty and karen have been hired to paint the houses in a new development. Working together the women can paint a house in two thirds the time that it takes karen working alone. Betty takes 6 hours to paint a house alone. How long does it take karen to paint a house working alone?
Since Betty takes 6 hours to paint a house alone, that means she can paint 1/6 of the house in 1 hour.
Karen can also paint 1/x in 1 hour
Both of them will paint the house in 3/2 hours.
We then add them together which gives:
1/6 + 1/x = 3/2x
The lowest common multiple is 6x
1x/6x + 6/6x = 9/6x
We then leave out the denominators
1x + 6 = 9
x = 9 - 6
x = 3
Karen working alone will paint a house in 3 hours.
