Answer:
the x means 9
Step-by-step explanation:
You posted the question twice ... I have repeated the answer here .. .
Find the area of all the sides:
10 x 9 = 90
9 x 8 = 72
1/2 x 6 x 8 = 24
1/2 x 6 x 8 = 24
6 x 9 = 54
Add them up:
90 + 72 + 24 + 24 + 54 = 264 square metres
Fraction that Sam painted in 1 min is:
10/25=2/5
Fraction that you painted in 1 min:
5/25=1/5
Fraction pained by both in 1 min:
1/5+2/5=3/5 ft²/min
Time taken to paint 50 ft² will be:
time=3/5×50=30 min
Thus we conclude that Sam was wrong.
