Answer:
it is a special type of ratio. It will compare 1 unit of some quantity to a different number of units of a different quantity
Step-by-step explanation:
After 45 minutes you will have painted 4*45=180 square feet.
so the total number of painted area, y, is:
y=180+x*(3+4) after the 45 minutes
where x is the number of minutes AFTER THE 45 minutes:
if y is 1000 then
1000=180+x*7
820=x*7
x=117.14
so 117 minutes, or one hour and 57 minutes.
