Let us say that x is the total amount of time it will take if they work together.

From the given statement above, we know that the rate of Irina working alone is 1 job / 4 hours. While that of Paulo is 1 job / 3 hours. Where 1 job indicates to the job of completely painting the room. So adding the two rates would result in 1 job / x hours. Therefore:

1 / 4 + 1 / 3 = 1 / x

Multiplying both sides with 12 x:

(1 / 4 + 1 / 3 = 1 / x) 12 x

3 x + 4 x = 12

7 x = 12

x = 1.71 hours

So working together, they can paint the room for 1.71 hours.

A man walks at the rate of 88 paces to the minute if the average length of his paces is 0.875m, find the time take to walk 2.31k
Nataly [62]

Answer:

30 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Walk rate = 88 paces/ minute

Average length of pace = 0.875 m

Time taken to walk 2.31 km ;

The distance in metres :

1000 m = 1 km

2.31 km = (1000 * 2.31) = 2310 m

Recall :

Time taken = distance / speed

Distance walked in a minute = 88 * 0.875 = 77 m

Time taken = 2310 / 77

Time taken = 30 minutes

Can someone help me please
soldier1979 [14.2K]

Step-by-step explanation:

c >= 2

that means any value of c greater or equal to 2 is a valid solution. so, yes, 2 is a solution for this.

c < 2

that means any value of c smaller than 2 is a valid solution. so, no, 2 is not smaller than 2, so it is not a solution.

c < 3

that means any value of c smaller than 3 is a valid solution. so, yes, 2 is smaller than 3, so 2 is a solution.

3 < c

that means any value of c, for that 3 is smaller, is a valid solution. our in other words, any value for c larger than 3 is a valid solution. so, no, 2 is not larger than 3, so it is not a solution.

-8 < c

that means any value of c, for that -8 is smaller, is a valid solution. our in other words, any value for c larger than -8 is a valid solution. so, yes, 2 is larger than -8, so it is a solution.

Solve for the variable
krek1111 [17]

Answer:

G = 2/3

Step-by-step explanation:

-13G + 10 = 2(-5G + 4)  Distribute the 2 to (-5G + 4)

-13G + 10 = -10G + 8  

+13G           +13G         Add 13G to both sides

10 = 3G + 8

-8           -8                  Subtract 8 from both sides

2 = 3G                          Divide both sides by 3

2/3 = G

What is the slope of a line that is parallel to the line represented by the equation x-y=8
coldgirl [10]
The slope of x-y=8 is 1 because it's actually y = x-8

Parallel means the slope is equal to 1 as well.
