Let's look at work rates per minute.
Together they can paint the wall in x minutes.
Working together, in 1 minute, they do 1/x of the job.
The student who paints the wall in 16 minutes does 1/16 of the job in 1 minute.
The student who paints the wall in 24 minutes does 1/24 of the job in 1 minute.
Together, they do 1/16 + 1/24 of the job in 1 minute, but from above, we see that together, they do 1/x of the job in 1 minute, so 1/16 + 1/24 must equal 1/x. That gives us our equation.
1/16 + 1/24 = 1/x
1/16 * 3/3 + 1/24 * 2/2 = 1/x
3/48 + 2/48 = 1/x
5/48 = 1/x
x = 48/5 = 9.6
Answer: It takes them 9.6 minutes, or about 10 minutes to do the job together.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
x + y = 10
22x + 14y = 172
-22x - 22y = -220
22x + 14y = 172
-8y = - 48
y = 6 ceramic vases
x + 6 = 10
x = 4 glass vases
You have to subtract the largest number from the smallest and you get your range. Which would be 7.5-2.1 equals 5.4 which is b.
