Respuesta :

[tex] \large \mathfrak{Solution : }[/tex]

let the total time taken to paint the bookcase be x

now ,

  • [tex] \dfrac{40}{100} \times x = 20[/tex]

  • [tex] \dfrac{2}{5} \times x = 20[/tex]

  • [tex]x = 20 \times \dfrac{5}{2} [/tex]

  • [tex]x = 50 \: \: min[/tex]

the required equation is :

  • [tex] \boxed{ \boxed{ \frac{40}{100} \times x = 20}}[/tex]
