Chad can paint a room in 5 h. cassie can paint the room in 3 h. how long would it take them to paint the room working together?

1 answer:

8 0

If Chad can paint the whole room in 5 hours, in 1 hour he gets 1/5 of it painted. If Cassie can paint the whole room in 3 hours, in 1 hour she gets 1/3 of it painted. If we add those together we can find out how much of the room they can paint together in one hour. 1/5 + 1/3 = 1/x, with x being the number of hours it will take them to paint the room together. Common denominator is 15, therefore, 3/15 + 5/15 = 1/x and 8/15 = 1/x. Cross-multiply to get 8x = 15, so it will take them 15/8 hours, or 1.9 hours to paint the whole room together.

jasenka [17]

For this case we have that the quotient of 6 and a number, can be expressed as:

$\frac {6} {x}$

Where the variable "x" represents the incognito number.

Now we have that expression is subtracted from 100. Now, we can write the following:

$100- \frac {6} {x}$

mixas84 [53]

The formula of combination is

$nCr= \frac{n!}{(n-r)!r!}$

We have $n=14$ and $r=10$

$14C10= \frac{14!}{(14-10)!10!} = 1001$

Hence, there are 1001 ways of arranging 10 records from 14 records

Graph an inequality on a number line: 15>m

barxatty [35]

When the sign is ≤ or ≥ ("less/greater than <u>or equal to</u>"), the dot if filled in.

When the sign is < or >, the dot is not filled in/open circle.

15 > m

[15 is greater than m, or m is less than 15]

Since m is less than 15, the arrow is going to the left (the numbers to the left are less than 15)
