It takes 7 hours for 12 men to paint a room.

how many men would be needed to paint the room in 3 hours?

28 men would be required to paint the room

Step-by-step explanation:

if every man work independently of the others in the room ( that means that each one works in parallel without interrupting the others).

time required to paint = time that each men worked * number of man that worked in the room = 7 hours/ men * 12 men = 84 hours

since the time required to paint the room is 84 hours, if we have need to finish in 3 hours, the number of men that should be working are

time required to paint = time that each men worked * number of man that worked in the room

or

number of man that worked in the room = time required to paint / time that each men worked = 84 hours / 3 hours/men = 28 men

you forgot the options, but i found them anyways, the correct answer is "john wilson believes that words and actions based on the intellect are superior to those based on emotions".

john wilson is depicted as an extremely intelligent man. the point of the excerpt is to make a sort of distinction between emotional and rational intelligence. he happens to have both attributes, but he clearly favors his intellectual gifts. at the same time, because of his religious background, he's a little bit conflicted with this and it makes him ashamed.

hope this !
