Answer: Mia paints the walls at a rate of [tex]2000 cm^2/min[/tex].
Explanation:
It is given that Mia paints interior walls at a rate of [tex]12m^2/h[/tex].
We know that,
1 m = 100 cm
[tex]1m\times 1m=100cm\times 100cm[/tex]
[tex]1m^2=10000cm^2[/tex]
We also know that,
1 h = 60 min
[tex]12m^2/h=12\times\frac{10000}{60} cm^2/min[/tex]
[tex]12m^2/h=2\times{1000}cm^2/min[/tex]
[tex]12m^2/h=2000cm^2/min[/tex]
Therefore, we can say that she paints the interior walls at a rate of [tex]2000 cm^2/min[/tex].
