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.

Veronica takes home $1100 per month at her current job. She seeks a loan from her local bank for $40,000 to purchase a new car.
iogann1982 [59]

Answer:

The correct answer is c) Your income probably cannot make loan payments.

Explanation:

Even if the bank sees that Verónica has a perfect track record in past loans, it is possible that she will be denied the loan, since Verónica's monthly income will not be enough to pay the loan.

Since she should pay 900 dollars a month, and her salary is 1100 dollars, this would leave Veronica with $ 200 remaining that would be insufficient to pay her monthly expenses. So the bank when making the calculations of the monthly expenses of the person considers that he does not have the income that allows him to pay the loan on a monthly basis.
