Answer:

56 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

14 people painting 14 walls is simply double (x2) 7 people painting seven walls.

We know this because 7 x 2 = 14

So, we will have to double the amount of time it takes them to paint.

28 x 2 = 56

It will take 56 minutes for 14 people to paint 7 walls!

Answer:

14 mph ( average speed during the second part of the trip )

Step-by-step explanation:

Let´s call "x" the average speed during the first part then

t = 5 hours

t = t₁ + t₂ t₁ and t₂ times during part 1 and 2 respectively

l = t*v ( distance is speed by time ) t = l/v

First part

t₁ = 16/x and t₂ = 42 / ( x + 6)

Then

t = 5 = 16/x + 42 /(x + 6)

5 = [ 16 * ( x + 6 ) + 42 * x ] / x* ( x + 6 )

5 *x * ( x + 6 ) = 16*x + 96 + 42 x

5*x² + 30*x - 58*x - 96 = 0

5*x² - 28*x - 96 = 0

We obtained a second degree equation, we will solve for x and dismiss any negative root since negative time has not sense

x₁,₂ = [28 ± √ (28)² + 1920 ] / 10

x₁,₂ = ( 28 ± √2704 )/ 10

x₁ = 28 - 52 /10 we dismiss that root

x₂ = 80/10

x₂ = 8 mph average speed during the first part, and the average speed in the second part was 6 more miles than in the firsst part. then the average spedd dring the scond part was 8 + 6 = 14 mph

I need help..

Debora [2.8K]

This is exactly like the one with the 'n's that you posted yesterday.
I guess you didn't get enough help on that one to understand it.

7k/8 - 3/4 - 5k/16 = 3/8

3/4 is the same as 6/8.
Add it to each side of the equation:

7k/8 - 5k/16 = 9/8

Multiply each side by 16 :

14k - 5k = 18

Add up the 'k's on the left side:

9k = 18

From this point, you can proceed directly to the numerical value of 'k'
if you need it.

In your question, you said you need help, and I showed you how to
strip the problem down so that the only thing left is ' k = something '.
Giving you the answer is no help. Nobody actually needs the answer.

Omar has 2-5/8 cups of dough to make dumplings. If he uses 3/16 cup of dough for each dumpling, how many whole dumplings can Oma

Arte-miy333 [17]

Answer:

The number of whole dumpling does Omar make is 14 .

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as :

The number of cups does Omar has to make dumplings = x = 2 $\dfrac{5}{8}$

i.e x = $\dfrac{16 + 5}{8}$

or, x = $\dfrac{21}{8}$

Again

The number of cups uses for each dumpling = y = $\dfrac{3}{16}$

i.e y = $\dfrac{3}{16}$

Let The number of whole dumpling does Omar make = z

So, number of whole dumpling does Omar make = $\dfrac{\textrm number of cups does Omar has to make dumplings}{number of cups uses for each dumpling }$

Or, z = $\dfrac{x}{y}$

Or, z = $\frac{\frac{21}{8}}{\frac{3}{16}}$

Or, z = $\frac{21\times 16}{8\times 3}$

∴ z = 7 × 2

i.e z = 14

So, The number of whole dumpling does Omar make = z = 14

Hence, The number of whole dumpling does Omar make is 14 . Answer
