Since Irina can paint 1 room in 9 hours, that means she paints 1/9 of the room in 1 hour.  Her portion of the equation would be 1/9x, with x being the number of hours she works and 1/9 of a room per hour being her speed.
Since Paulo can paint 1 room in 8 hours, that means he paints 1/8 of the room in 1 hour.  His portion of the equation would be 1/8x, with x being the number of hours he works and 1/8 of a room per hour being his speed.
The equation would then be 1/9x + 1/8x = 1 (Irina's portion of the room, plus Paulo's portion of the room, equal to one whole room).
Find a common denominator.  72 is the first number that both 9 and 8 divide evenly into.  Since 9*8 = 72, we multiply the top of 1/9 by 8 to convert the fraction and get 8/72x.  Since 8*9 = 72, we multiply the top of 1/8 by 9 to convert the fractio and get 9/72x.  We now have 8/72x+9/72x=1
17/72x=1
Divide both sides by 17/72:
17/72x ÷ 17/72 = 1÷17/72
x=1/1 ÷ 17/72
x=1/1 * 72/17
x=72/17=4.24
Together it should take them 4.24 hours.

G varies inversely with the square
vivado [14]

Answer:;4.4

Step-by-step explanation: Since it varies inversely we know G times H squared is equal to some constant, k. So we have G*H*H=k. We are told that when H=4, G=.25. Plugging this in, we have .25*4*4=k. This simplifies to 4=k. Our new equation is G*H*H=4. Now, we want to solve for G when H=.3. We plug it in. G*.3*.3=4 => G*.09=4. G=4/.09. This means G is approximately 44.4.
