Answer:
Luca bought 2 steaks and 4 watermelons.
Step-by-step explanation:
During the sale, steaks sold for $4 and watermelon sold for $3.50.
Let the number of steaks Luca bought be represented as x and the number of watermelons Luca bought be represented as y.
Luca spent $22 in total.
That means that the number of steaks that Luca bought multiplied by the price of each steaks plus the number of watermelons that Luca bought multiplied by the price of each watermelon will give $22.
In other words:
(4 * x) + (3.5 * y) = 22__________________(1)
Luca bought a total of 6 steaks and watermelons. This means that:
x + y = 6____________________________(2)
We have two simultaneous equations.
4x + 3.5y = 22 ___________(1)
x + y = 6 _______________(2)
From (2):
x = 6 - y
Putting this back in (1):
4(6 - y) + 3.5y = 22
24 - 4y + 3.5y = 22
24 - 0.5y = 22
=> 24 - 22 = 0.5y
2 = 0.5y
=> y = 2/0.5 = 4
Hence:
x = 6 - 4 = 2
Luca bought 2 steaks and 4 watermelons.
Answer:
Well going with the answer mathematically, it would take 2.5 hours for 2 people to cut the grass.
Each room has 2 walls that are 4x10 = 40 square feet and 2 walls that are 8x10 = 80 square feet. So 80+80+40+40 = 240 square feet of wall will be painted per room.
We use 2 coats of paint so in effect, we double the area. Imagine laying one thin wall on top of the other. The amount of paint area used per room doubles from 240 to 480
There are 4 of these rooms so 4*480 = 1920
The total area we need to paint is 1920 square feet
Divide this over 32 to get 1920/32 = 60
Final Answer: 60
