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)

Explanation:

Imagine we have a point  

P

with Rectangular (also called Cartesian) coordinates  

(

x

,

y

)

and Polar coordinates  

(

r

,

θ

)

.

The following diagram will help us visualise the situation better:

We can see that a right triangle is formed with sides  

x

,  

y

and  

r

, as well as an angle  

θ

.

We have to find the relation between the Cartesian and Polar coordinates, respectively.

By Pythagora's theorem, we get the result

r

2

=

x

2

+

y

The only properties we can say about  

θ

are its trigonometric functions:

sin

θ

=

y

/

r

⇒

y

=

r

sin

θ

cos

θ

=

x

/

r

⇒

x

=

r

cos

θ

So we have the following relations:

y

Now, we can see that saying

in the Rectangular system is equivalent to say
