Krystal can wax a floor in 16 minutes. Perry helped her and it took 5.76 minutes. How long would it take perry to do it alone?
1 answer:
<span>Krystal's rate = 1 floor in 16 min. = 1/16 floors per min.
Working together their rate = 1 floor in 5.76 min. = 1/5.76 floors per min.
We need to determine Perry's rate, so we need to equate their combined rate with the sum of the individual rates.
Let Perry's time = x
In equation form, we can write:
1/16 + 1/x = 1/5.76
Solve for x:
(x+16)/16x = 1/5.76 -> 5.76(x+16) = 16x -> 10.24x = 92.16 -> x = 9
So, Perry would take 9 mins. to do the floor alone.
I hope this helped!

Answer:
-0.6309
Step-by-step explanation:
Using the change of base formula,
Log 1/2 to base 3 = Log1/2 ÷ Log 3 = Log 0.5 ÷ Log 3
Log 0.5 = -0.3010
Log3 = 0.4771
Log 0.5 ÷ Log 3 = -0.3010 ÷ 0.4771 = -0.6309
Answer:3x

Boxes = 3_2/5
15 = total number of bags of favors
Each bag has 3 items inside
3 × 15 = 45
Total number of items = number of boxes plus (15 × 3).
So, choice A is the answer.
