Answer:

16 men would be needed to paint the room in 2 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use proportion to solve the problem given, but first we need to determine whether it is a direct or indirect proportion.

If the number of men are increase, the time taken to do the work will decrease, If the number of men are decrease, the time taken to do the work will increase. Therefore, this is an indirect proportion.

We are going to arrange the data inversely.

Let x be the number of men needed to paint the room in two hours

8 hours =  2 hours

    x        = 4 men

Cross-multiply

2×x = 8×4

2x = 32

Divide both-side of the equation by 2

2x/2 = 32/2

x = 16 men

16 men would be needed to paint the room in 2 hours

Christine went shopping and bought each of her eighteight nephews a​ gift, either a video costing​ $14.95 or a CD costing​ $16.8

So I think you should set up an equation like this: 14.95x+16.88y=131.18 , x+y=8

so x=8-y, plug this into the original equation:
14.95(8-y)+16.88y=131.18
Evaluate: 119.60-14.95y+16.88y=131.18
Combine like terms: 119.60+1.93y=131.18
Subtract 119.60 from both sides. You get: 1.93y=11.58
Divide both sides by 1.93. You get y=6

Plug into second equation: x+y=8 ---> x+6=8 and solve for x. x=2

Christine bought 2 video games and 6 CDs. 14.95(2)+16.88(6)=131.18

While multiplying decimals by 10, 100, 1,000 and so on, just move the decimal to the right by how many zeros you have in the number. Let’s say I have 7.9 x 10. Move the decimal one place to the right because you have ONE zero. Then your answer would be 79.
