Answer: 1\frac{3}{5} hrs

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

1st painter:  \frac{1}{2}

2nd painter: \frac{1}{8}

1st + 2nd = Together

\frac{1}{2} + \frac{1}{8} = \frac{1}{x}

\frac{1}{2}(8x) + \frac{1}{8}(8x) = \frac{1}{x}(8x)

4x + x = 8

5x = 8

 x = \frac{8}{5}

    = 1\frac{3}{5}

The third tree diagram is correct.

The probabilities for the first draw are 3/7 for green and 4/7 for red.

If you draw a green pear first, then your probabilities for the second pear would be 2/6 for green and 4/6 for red (since it is done without replacement, the number of pears to choose from changes).

If you draw a red pear first, then your probabilities for the second pear would be 3/6 for green and 3/6 for red.
