Answer: it will take them 1.875 hours to paint if they worked together

Step-by-step explanation:

Sally can paint a room in 5 hours. This means that in 1 hour, 1/5 of the room. Her unit rate is 1/5

Steve 3 hours to paint the same room. It means that his unit rate per hour is 1/3

If they work together, it would take a lesser time because they would be working simultaneously and at their individual rates. It means that their rates are additive. Their combined individual rate will be 1/5 + 1/3

Assuming they worked together and finished the painting in t hours, their combined rate per hour will be 1/t. Therefore

1/5 + 1/3 = 1/t

3 + 5/15 = 1/t

8/15 = 1/t

8t =15

t = 15/8 = 1.875 hours

find the surface area of the composite solid round your answer to the nearest tenth and explain your answer
OlgaM077 [116]
I did most of it for you-
Volume of the cone is 13.1
Volume of the cylinder is 18.9
Now, you just subtract two of the flat circular surfaces, because the two shapes are attached, therefore those parts are not surface area. And there is your answer.

A researcher interested in Springfield citizens' shopping habits surveys a randomly selected group of 200 Walmart shoppers. 76%
luda_lava [24]

Answer and Explanation: The results of the survey would not be accurate to the whole of springfield, as the sample was not a random sample. A random sample is where each person in a given area (Springfield in this case) has an equal chance of being surveyed. In this case, only walmart shoppers were surveyed. Therefor, the results can only apply to shoppers at walmart, not the whole of Springfield.
