Answer:

2.22 hours

Explanation:

If Sally can paint the office by herself in 5 hours, we can say that in one hour she paints 1/5 of the office.

On the other hand, Lucy paints the office in 4 hours, which means that, in 1 hour she paints 1/4 of the office.

Therefore, to know how much they would paint per hour working together, we are going to sum up the fractions they paint per hour:

\frac{1}{5} +\frac{1}{4}=\frac{4+5}{20}  =\frac{9}{20}

Therefore, working together they will paint \frac{9}{20} =0.45 of the office in one hour.

Now we can establish a rule of three: if they paint 0.45 of the office in 1 hour, how long (x) will it take them to paint 1.0 of the office?

1- 0.45\\x-1

And therefore x = \frac{1}{0.45}=2.22

Therefore, it will take them 2.22 hours to paint the office working together.

Naya [18.7K]

Answer: A. designating an anti-charity should be more effective because loss  aversion will provide additional motivation .

Options:

A. designating an anti-charity should be more effective because loss

aversion will provide additional motivation

B. designating a charity should be more effective because it avoids all potential for loss

C. it shouldn’t matter whether one designates a charity or anti-charity

D. self-interest biases generally keep people from choosing the anti-charity

Explanation:

The study of behavioral Economics shows that people are more driven by the loss of fear than the hope of gain. This is known as loss aversion. In commitment contracts where penalty money is promised to a charity or an anti-charity if the goal is not achieved, those who promise their money to an anti-charity tend to achieve their goals more. The same also applies when comparing this group and those who do not have to forego anything if they do not meet their target.

This is because giving to a charity will still seem beneficial while losing the money to an anti-charity will seem like a total loss.

That is his ethical dilemma.
