Answer 2

Answer:

$4\frac{7}{8}\text{ minutes}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number of minutes after which both sides have equal number of feet painted,

∵ One side of the fence is painted by Benito,

His speed = 15 ft/min

So, the number of feet painted in one side after x minutes = 15x,

Now, second side of the fence is painted by Taylor,

The feet he already painted = $19\frac{1}{2}$,

Taylor's speed = 11 ft/min

Thus, the number of feet painted in second side after x minutes = $19\frac{1}{2}+11x$,

$15x = 19\frac{1}{2}+11x$

$4x = 19\frac{1}{2}$

$4x = \frac{39}{2}$

$\implies x = \frac{39}{8}=4\frac{7}{8}\text{ minutes}$

Hence, it will take $4\frac{7}{8}$ minutes for both sides to have an equal number of feet painted.
