Answer:

2 hrs 13 mins

Step-by-step explanation:

If Richard can paint the living room in 4 hrs, then in 1 hour he can paint 1/4 of the living .

If Vanessa can paint the living room in 5 hours, then in one hour, she can paint 1/5 of the living room.

In one hour Richard and Vanessa can paint 1/4 + 1/5 = 1/y

y is the number of hours it will take both Richard and Vanessa to paint the living room. 1/y is how much of the house they can paint in one hour.

1/4 + 1/5 = 1/y

(5 + 4)/20. ( find the LCM)

9/20 = 1/y

9y= 20

y = 20/9

y = 2.22hrs

y = 2 hrs 13 mins

Can someone please help me!

Hello!

To find the circumference of a circle you do 2 \pi r where r is the radius of the circle

So we do 2\pi 72

Then we substitute pi for 3.14

2 * 3.14 * 72 = 452.16 yds

Then we multiply this by 5 since he runs 5 laps

Which gives us the answer of 2260.8 yds

Hope this helps!

A woman bought 210 oranges for $6.50. She sold all of them at 3 for 20cents. How much profit did she make?
Dafna11 [192]

Divide total bought by 3 and multiply by 20cents:

210/3 = 70

70 x 0.20 = $14.00

Subtract the amount they paid by the amount they made:

14.00 - 6.50 = $7.50

The profit made was: $7.50
