Answer:

108\ minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

1) we know that

Sally can paint the wall in 54 minutes

so

The 100% of the wall ------> she can paint in 54 minutes

by proportion

calculate how much is the percent of the work in 36 minutes

\frac{100\%}{54} =\frac{x\%}{36}\\ \\x=36*100/54\\ \\x=66.67\%

That means

Sally in 36 minutes can paint the 66.67% of the wall

2) Sally and Ethan work together, they can paint the wall in 36 minutes

so

Ethan in 36 minutes can paint (100%-66.67%)=33.33%

by proportion

Calculate how much time does it take for Ethan to paint the wall by herself

\frac{33.33\%}{36} =\frac{100\%}{x}\\ \\x=36*100/33.33\\ \\x=108\ minutes
