It takes21 minutes for 5 people to paint 7walls. How many minutes does it take 3people to paint 5 walls?

1 answer:

8 0

so 5 people work each one for 21 minutes, that means 21+21+21+21+21 minutes altogether, namely 105 minutes, it took that long for 7 walls, hmmmm how long for just one wall then? well, 105 ÷ 7, namely 15 minutes then, for just 1 wall.

now, if it takes 15 minutes of work to do one wall, what about 5 walls? well, that'd be 15*5 or 75 minutes.

so if we have 3 folks working, how much would each one work? well, 75 ÷ 3, namely 25 minutes, so each of them will work 25 minutes, namely 25+25+25 minutes, so in 25 minutes, they'll be done with 5 walls.

Which is the solution to 5^x=8^x-7

Levart [38]

Answer:

C) 30.9702

Step-by-step explanation:

Take log of both sides:

In5^x = In8^x - 7

Rewrite it using the laws of log:

xIn5 = (x - 7)In8

x / (x - 7) = ln 8 / ln 5

x / (x - 7) = 1.292

x = 1.292x - 9.044

1.292x - x = 9.044

x = 9.044 / 0.292

Thus, x = 30.9702

One sign lights up every 10 seconds. One sign lights up every 12 seconds. If they have just lit up at the same time, how many se

andrew11 [14]

Answer:

It will take 60 seconds for the signs to light up at the same time again.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

One sign lights up every 10 seconds

One sign lights up every 12 seconds

They have just lit up at the same time.

To find in how many seconds will it take for the signs to light up at the same time again.

Solution:

In order to find the time in seconds will it take for the signs to light up at the same time again, we need to find the least common multiple of the the times for which the given signs light up.

The numbers are 10 and 12.

To find the LCM, we will list the multiples of each and check the least common multiple.

The multiples of 10 and 12 are :

$10\rightarrow 10,20,30,40,50,60,70$
