Answer:

4 hrs

Step-by-step explanation:

half of Jim Rollers time is 1.5 hrs, and half of John Brushs time is 2.5 hrs. The two combined is 4 hrs. Therefore, the answer is four hours.

This is basically finding the average of two numbers, and you can use multiple different equations to find the same answer.

3/2 + 5/2 =4

(3+5)/2 =4

5-3=2, then 2/2=1, 5-1=4

I can't understand this after "happening is" but let's do it unaided.

The number of ways to draw a boy first is 6.

Given that, the number of ways to draw a girl next is 10.

That's out of a total of 16 x 15 length two permutations of 16 things

$p = \dfrac{6 \times 10}{16(15)} = 1/4$
