We know that
<span>1) perry can paint a standard room in 3 hours
so
100% of the room--------------> 3 hours
x%-----------------> 1 hour
x=100/3-----< x=33.33%

2) </span>maria can paint a standard room in 2 hours
so
100% of the room--------------> 2 hours
x%-----------------> 1 hour
x=100/2-----< x=50%

3) lorna can paint a standard room in 2.5 hours
so
100% of the room--------------> 2.5 hours
x%-----------------> 1 hour
x=100/2.5-----< x=40 %

therefore
perry can paint 33.33% of a standard room in 1 hour
maria can paint 50 % of a standard room in 1 hour
lorna can paint 40 % of a standard room in 1 hour


Part a) Find <span>the value closest to the shortest time in which a 2-person team could paint a standard room
</span>the value closest to the shortest time is which maria and lorna
<span>
team (maria +lorna) =(50%+40%)---------> 90%  in 1 hour
so
90%------> 1 hour
100%-----> x
x+100/90-----> x=1.11 hours-----> 1 h 7 min

Part b) </span>Find the value closest to the longest time in which a 2-person team could paint a standard room
the value closest to the longest time is which perry and lorna<span>

</span>team (perry+lorna) =(33.33%+40%)---------> 73.33%  in 1 hour
so
73.33%------> 1 hour
100%-----> x
x+100/73.33-----> x=1.36 hours-------> 1 h 22 min

Answer:Perry and Lorna take the maximum time and Maria and Lorna take the minimum time when they work together.

Explanation: Since, according to the question- Perry takes time when he works alone = 3 hours

Similarly, Maria takes = 2 hours, While Lorna takes= 2 hours 30 minutes or 2.5 hours.

since, there are three people thus their are three possibility to choose any two of them.

1- when Perry and Maria work together then time taken by them is \frac{1}{1/2+1/3}=\frac{1}{5/6}= 6/5= 1 hour 12 minutes.

2- when Maria and Lorna work together then time taken by them is \frac{1}{1/2 + 1/2.5}= 10/9= 1 hours 1/9 minutes ≈ 1 hours 7 min

3- when Perry and Lorna work together then time taken= \frac{1}{1/3+1/2.5}= 15/11= 1 hour 4/11 minutes≈ 1 hours 21 minutes

From the above explanation, it has been proved that when we talk about 2 members team then Perry and Lorna take the maximum time. While Maria and Lorna take the minimum time when they work together.

Sally's parents deposited $15,000 into a college savings account on her third birthday. The account had an interest rate of 9.6%
Andru [333]

The rule of 72 says to divide 72 over the interest rate without the percent sign attached to it. This means we divide 72 over 9.6 to get 72/9.6 = 7.5

So the money doubles every 7.5 years. When another 7.5 years rolls around, a total of 2*7.5 = 15 years has gone by. At this point the money is roughly 4 times that of the original amount deposited.
