Define rates at which the individuals paint.
Bill:  x = 1/8  signs/h
Bob: y = (2 signs)/(8 h) = 1/4  signs/h
Barry: z = (4/3 signs)/(8 h) = 1/6 signs/h

The job is to paint 2 signs, working together.

In the first 3 hours, the amount painted is
(x+y+z signs/h)*(3 h) = (1/8 + 1/4 + 1/6)*3 = 13/8 signs
Remaining: 2 - 13/8 = 3/8 signs

Barry quits.
In the next 1/2 hour (30 minutes), the amount painted is
(x + y signs/h)*(0.5 h) = (1/8 + 1/4)*0.5 = 3/16 signs
Remaining: 3/8 - 3/16 = 3/16 signs

Now Bob quits.
The time for Bill to finish the job is
(3/16  signs)/(1/8 signs/h) = 3/2 h

Answer: Bill finishes the job in 1.5 hours (or 1 hour, 30 minutes)

The probability of randomly drawing a red card from a bag that contains red, blue, and green cards is 3/10. What is the probabil
Katarina [22]
If the probability of drawing a red card is 3/10, then if we take this fom a whole, 10/10, we can find the probability of not choosing a red card.
10/10-3/10=7/10

The probability of not drawing a red card is 7/10 or 70%.
