L= length of one side of the square
Ok so we know the perimeter is 32 cm. Perimeter is the sum of all the sides of a shape. Now all four sides of a square are the same length. That means 4*L=32.
Now that we have the equation 4*L=32, we need to find a number that when multiplied by four, equals 32. Since 4*8=32, we know the answer must be 8cm.
This is the concept of proportionality, we are required to calculate for the number of hours two crews can use to paint the house altogether.
Here proceed as follows;
number of hours new crew can paint=12 hrs
portion of work painted by new crew in 1 hour= 1/12
number of hours experienced crew can paint=6 hours
Portion of work painted by experienced crew in 1 hour=1/6
Portion of work painted by the two crews altogether in 1 hour will be:
1/6+1/12=1/4
thus the total amount of hours that the two painters will take to paint will be:
4 hours
