No idea I don't know the answer
The value of y will probably be 4.
the cost is proportional to the number of people because a constant value 9.50 exists where each measure of the number of people multiplied by this constant gives the corresponding measure in y
Answer:
21 minutes divided by 7 walls = 3 minutes per wall for 5 people.
Assuming each worker has the same exact productivity, one person would take 15 minutes to paint a single wall (3 minutes x 5 people to get the amount of time for 1 worker per wall).
15 minutes for one worker multiplied by 5 walls = 75 minutes for one worker. Divide 75 minutes by 3 people = 25 minutes to paint all 5 walls with 3 people.
Step-by-step explanation:
1/(3b)=4/5 multiply both sides by 5
5/(3b)=4 multiply both sides by 3b
5=12b divide both sides by 12
b=5/12 (not sure why you don't have that as an option in your answers, perhaps I misunderstood your description of the original equation...)
