Convert 8 1/2 to 8.5 and 6 3/10 to 6.3, and then multiply 8.5 by 6.3. Answer:
53.55, or, if you reduce 55/100, 53 11/20.

The answer would be 7.99.
Basically its 250 + 16x = 210 + 18x where x = the number of hours doing the job.
Solving, we get 40 = 2x, x =20
The jobs has to be 20 hours long in order for their two painting jobs to be equally priced.
Hope this helped!
Answer:
A is one of the true statements because 25 is the largest number that 50 and 75 can both divide evenly into.
D is the other true statement because 45 is the lowest number that 5 and 9 can both multiply into.
