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 path of a football can be modelled by the equation, h=-10d2+120d , where h represents the height, in metres, of the football
Marta_Voda [28]

Answer:

12 m

Step-by-step explanation:

The path of a football has been modeled by the equation:

h= -10d^2+120d

where h represents the height and d represents the horizontal distance.

When the ball lands, it means that its height is back at 0 metres. This means that we have to find horizontal distance, d, when height, h, is 0.

=> 0= -10d^2+120d

=> 10d^2 - 120d = 0

d(10d - 120) = 0

∴ d = 0 m

and

10d - 120 = 0

=> d = 120 / 10 = 12 m

There are two solutions for d when h = 0 m.

The first solution (d = 0 m) is a case where the ball has not been thrown at all. This means the ball has not moved away from the football player and it is still on the ground.

The second solution is the answer to our problem (d = 12 m). The ball lands at a horizontal distance of 12 m

if Angela's house is assessed valuation of $61,200 and the tax rate per 100 is $3.78 what will she pay in annual real estate tax
poizon [28]

Answer:

\boxed{\text{\$2313.40}}

Step-by-step explanation:

The tax rate is $3.78/$100 assessed

\text{Tax} = \text{\$61 200 assessed} \times \dfrac{\text{\$3.78}}{\text{\$100 assessed}}

Cancel the $100 assessed.

612 × $3.78 = $2313.40

Angela's real estate tax will be \boxed{ \textbf{\$2313.40}}
