It takes 40 minutes for 8 people to paint 4 walls. How many minutes does it take 10 people to paint 7 walls?

1 answer:

3 0

Let's first break it down to the time 8 people need for one wall. That would be 10 minutes, right? If one person would have to do it in stead of 8, you'd expect him to take 80 minutes.

To paint 7 walls, he would nee 7x80 = 560 minutes. 10 people would do that 10 times faster, ie., 56 minutes.

I know puzzles like these always have a mindtrick. Did I miss anything?? ;-)

A can of tennis balls costs $6. The total cost c of n cans, including sales tax t, is given by the equation c = 6n + t. Which is

lora16 [44]

Answer:

The reason why c = 6n + t is the same as c - t = 6n is because c is the sum of the addition problem. 6n and t are the addends. The inverse operation for addition is subtraction. c is the cost that will be reduced by t. The answer is still 6n.

The value of x is 14

<h3>How to solve for x?</h3>

From the question, the lines from the center of the circle to the chords have equal measures of 9 units

This line divides a chord into equal segments, where each segment is 7 units

So, we have:

x = 7 + 7

Evaluate

x = 14

Hence, the value of x is 14
