Answer:

So it took him 4/5 of an  hour to paint 1/3  

that means there is still 2/3 to go  

so that means that he will have two times that time to paint the rest of the room

4/5    =  ?  

1/3       2/3

using cross multiplication

(4/5)(2/3) = (1/3) (?)

8/15 = 1/3 ?

divide both sides by 1/3

so that will be 8/5

that means it will take 8/5 of an hour to complete the rest  

or 12/5 total to do entire room

Hope this helps ;)
