Answer:

12 people take 32 minutes to paint 12 walls.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since, When x_1 people complete a type of w_1 work in n_1 time and the same type of w_2 work in n_2 time,

Then, we can write,

\frac{x_1\times n_1}{w_1}=\frac{x_2\times n_2}{w_2}

Here, x_1=8\text{ persons}

n_1=32\text{ minutes}

w_1=8

x_2=12\text{ persons}

w_2=12

We have to find : n_2

By substituting the values in the above formula,

\frac{8\times 32}{8}=\frac{12\times n_2}{12}

\frac{256}{8}=\frac{12n_2}{12}

3072=96n_2    ( By cross multiplication )

\implies n_2=\frac{3072}{96}=32

Hence, 12 people take 32 minutes to paint 12 walls.

Answer:

It takes 32 Minutes for 12 people to paint 12 walls

Step-by-step explanation:

If it takes 8 people 32 minutes to paint 8 walls, then that means each person takes 32 minutes to paint 1 wall. With that being said, If you have 12 people painting 12 walls, It will take 32 minutes for all 12 walls to be painted.

Hope this helps!

if a sprinter runs are distance of hundred metres in 9.83 seconds calculate the speed in kilometre per hour​
My name is Ann [436]

Answer:

98.3 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

If you use stoichometry you can convert your units

9.83 seconds

over 100 meters    a kilometer is 1000 meters so

9.83/100 *10 because what you do to denominator needs to happen to numerator

98.3 seconds

over 1 kilometer

it take the sprinter 98.3 seconds to run a kilometer and one way to check is well a kilo is a longer distance so logically the time it takes them has to be higher cause they cannot run a kilo faster than they run 1/10 of it

Hamburger is on sale for 20% off the normal $3.70 price. How much can you save per pound by buying the meat on sale? Explain you
Nitella [24]

Answer:

$0.75

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Normal price - $3.70

If Hamburger is on  sale for 20% off the normal price

The amount that can be saved will  be 20% of $3.70

Amount that can be saved = 20/100 * 3.70

Amount that can be saved  = 1/5 * 3.70

Amount that can be saved  = 3.7/5

Amount that can be saved  = 0.75

Hence the Amount that can be saved on $3.70 is $0.75

kvv77 [185]

Answer:

Keep the exact order that is shown
