It takes 0.15625 minutes to paint 1 square feet
<em><u>Solution:</u></em>
Given that, I can paint 96 sq ft in 15 minutes
To find: Time taken to paint 1 square feet
From given,
96 square feet is painted in 15 minutes
Let "x" be the time taken to paint 1 square feet
Then, we can say,
96 square feet = 15 minutes
1 square feet = x minutes
This forms a proportion and we can solve the sum by cross multiplying

Thus it takes 0.15625 minutes to paint 1 square feet

Answer:
5.
x + 2(x + 1) = 8 --> x = 2
y = 2 + 1 = 3
7.
3(9 + 2y) + 5y = 20 --> y = -7/11
x = 9 + 2(-7/11) = 85/11
9.
3(-1 - 2y) + 5y = -1 --> y = -2
x = -1 - 2(-2) = 3
Answer:
what should we be finding?
2.57*10^4 is 1,000,000 times more than 2.57*10^-1
Why?
4-(-1)=5 2
2.57*10^4=25700
2.57*10^-1=0.0257
and
25700
÷ 0.0257
=1000000
and 1000000=10^6
