Let the number of days be x.

Jameer paints 1 wall in 3 days. In 1 day, he paints 1/3 of a wall. In x days, he paints (1/3)x walls.

June paints 2 walls in 5 days. In 1 day, she paints 2/5 of a wall. In x days, she paints (2/5)x walls.

Working together, in x days they paint (1/3)x + (2/5)x walls.

We want to know the number of days they will take to paint 10 walls, so we let the expression equal 10.

(1/3)x + (2/5)x = 10

(5/15)x + (6/15)x = 10

(11/15)x = 10

x = 10 * 15/11

x = 150/11

It will take 150/11 days which is the same as 13.6363... days or approximately 13.6 days.

If the circumference of the circle is 37.68 units, what is the area? (Use 3.14 for pi .)
solniwko [45]

Answer: 113.04

Step-by-step explanation: The equation for the area of a circle is pi r squared so you have to find the radius first. To find the radius, find the diameter first. A way to do this which was easiest for me was dividing 37.68 by pi (3.14), which is 12. Divide the diameter by 2 to find the radius, 6.

Now use the equation from the beginning, pi r squared. So plug in pi as 3.14, then the radius as 6. It is important to always square the radius first, which would be 36. Now multiply 36 by 3.14, and there should be your answer.
