Sally alone can paint the room in 7 hours.

In 7 hours Sally alone does the job.

In 1 hour   Sally would do (1/7) of the job.


Steve can paint it alone in 9 hours.

In 9 hours Steve alone does the job.

In 1 hour   Steve would do (1/9) of the job.

Both working together in 1 hour would do:   (1/7) + (1/9).    

(1/7)*(9/9) + (1/9)*(7/7) = 9/63 + 7/63 = (9 + 7) / 63 = 16/63

In 1 hour both will have done (16/63) of the job.

16/63 of the job will be done in 1 hour by both.

Therefore  a 1 whole fraction of the job will be done in:   1 hour ÷ 16/63

                             =   1 hour × 63/16

                             = 63/16 hours = 3.9375 hours

It would take both 63/16 hours or 3.9375 hours.

How much part can sally paint in an hour ?
a ÷ 7 = a/7

And what about Steve ?
a ÷ 9 = a/9

Where, a is the total area of the room.

So, let the time taken by both of them to paint the room together be 't'

So,
t(a/7 + a/9) = a
t(9a/63 + 7a/63) = a
t(16a/63) = a
t = 63/16 ≈ 4 hr

Can you please help me out with a question
Finger [1]

The standard equation of a circle is expressed as

(x - h)^2 + (y - k)^2 = r^2

where

h is the x coordinate of the center of the circle

k is the y coordinate of the center of the circle

r is the radius of the circle(the distance from the center of the circle to the circumference

From the graph,

h = - 1

y = 4

r = 5

By substituting these values into the equation, we have

(x - - 1)^2 + (y - 4)^2 = 5^2

(x + 1)^2 + (y - 4)^2 = 25

Thus, the equation of the circle is

(x + 1)^2 + (y - 4)^2 = 25

Find the measure of
AVprozaik [17]

Answer:

55

Step-by-step explanation:

since b is 110, you will have to divide 110 by 2 to find out the answer of c because its a half of b and that leaves you with 55, also a is 55 two

c=55

a=55
