Answer:
Sam would have painted 3/8 of the room by 3 PM on the same day.
Step-by-step explanation:
Since Sam painted 1/4 of the room in 2/3 of an hour, his painting rate can be found by dividing the fraction of the room he painted by the time he took to paint it:
painting rate = (1/4) ÷ (2/3) = (1/4) × (3/2) = 3/8 of the room per hour
From 2 PM to 3 PM, Sam worked for 1 hour, so he would have painted:
(3/8) × 1 = 3/8 of the room
Therefore, Sam would have painted 3/8 of the room by 3 PM on the same day.
