Answer: They would paint 36 props in 3 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The squad painted 18 props in 90 minutes.

Time taken to paint each prop = [tex]\dfrac{90\text{ minutes}}{18}[/tex]

= 5 minutes

Now, 1 hour = 60 minutes

3 hours = 3 x 60 minute = 180 minutes

Total props painted in 3 hours = (180 )÷5

= 36

Hence, with same rate , they would paint 36 props in 3 hours.
