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

VikaD [51]

Answer: 8 oz..

1 pound= 16oz if 8oz=1.59 so add it up 4 times 8+8+8+8= 32 which = 2 pounds total 8=1.59 8+8= 1.59x2=3.18 8+8+8=1.59x3=4.77 8+8+8+8/ 1.59x4= 6.36 so all of them eights will = up to 2 pounds and 8 is obviously less

An interior designer sketches a design for a rectangular rug. The dimensions of a sketch are 4 inches by 7.5 in. The dimensions
Black_prince [1.1K]

3,000 in.

(4 x 10) + (7.5 x 10) = 3000


The dimensions on the sketch are 10 times less than the actual rug.


40 in., 7.5 in.


The drawing lengths are ten times more, so you just multiply the dimensions by 10, and then multiply the product you find out to find the actual area of the rug.
