Answer:

It takes 50 minutes to paint the whole box

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Write an equation using equal fractions to represent this situation. Use a box to represent the total time it takes to paint the bookcase.

Wilson paints 40% of a bookcase in 20 minutes.

For the total box

40% = 20 minutes

100% = x

40 × x = 100 × 20

x = 100 × 20/40

x = 50 minutes
