There is 3 variable, in this case, painters, walls and time(minutes). You need to find how many painters needed and provided information on the walls and time(minutes).

Increasing walls will cause more painter needed. It was reversed in time which was increased time will cause less painter needed.

In this case, you need to divide the variable walls with time since it reversed so: 27wall/9 minutes
It equal to : 3 walls/minute

Information provided is:
3 painters= 3 walls/3 minutes
Equal to : 3 paintes= 1 wall/minute

To make it 3 walls/minute, the painter needed will be:
(3 walls/minute) / (1 wall/minute) x 3 painters= 9 painters

Answer: 9 painters

Write the word sentence as an inequality.
garik1379 [7]

Answer:

-5b <= -34

Step-by-step explanation:

The inequality phrase, "at most" is same as "less than or equal to". So the algebraic inequality would be -5b <= -34. To solve for b, divide both sides by -5 and make sure to switch the inequality symbol to >= when dividing or multiplying inequalities by a negative number. So b >= 34 / 5.

Virty [35]
The answer is - 40. Observe.

y/-4 + 5 = 15
y = -40 
-40/-4 = 10
10 + 5 = 15 

Thus, y= -40
