Clare follows the same workout cycle each time she goes to the gym. First, she runs for 1/3 of an hour. Then, she lifts weights for 1/6 of an hour. If Clare has 1 1/2 hours to spend at the gym, how many times can she go through her workout cycle? Write your answer as a whole number, fraction, or mixed number. Simplify any fractions.

answer: 12,000

step-by-step explanation: first you ar e supposed to add. then multiply then subtract

the given 6 = w/p is equivalent to 6p = w, where w is the total area of the walls and p is the area covered by a single can of paint.

knowing that 6 cans of paint will be needed, 6p = w becomes 6(6) = w = 36.   this tells us that the total area to be painted is 36 square units.
