The formula for area of a circle is:
A=(pi)r^2
If diameter is 5.5, divide by 2 to find radius is 2.75. 2.75^2 is 7.5625 then multiplied by 3.14 (pi) is 23.746.
Depending on how you round, about 23.7 square feet were painted.
Let's look at work rates per minute.
Together they can paint the wall in x minutes.
Working together, in 1 minute, they do 1/x of the job.
The student who paints the wall in 16 minutes does 1/16 of the job in 1 minute.
The student who paints the wall in 24 minutes does 1/24 of the job in 1 minute.
Together, they do 1/16 + 1/24 of the job in 1 minute, but from above, we see that together, they do 1/x of the job in 1 minute, so 1/16 + 1/24 must equal 1/x. That gives us our equation.
1/16 + 1/24 = 1/x
1/16 * 3/3 + 1/24 * 2/2 = 1/x
3/48 + 2/48 = 1/x
5/48 = 1/x
x = 48/5 = 9.6
Answer: It takes them 9.6 minutes, or about 10 minutes to do the job together.

Answer:
x=48
Step-by-step explanation:
x-3 15
------------ = ----------
6 2
We can use cross products to solve this problem
(x-3) *2 = 6*15
Distribute
2x-6 = 90
Add 6 to each side
2x-6+6 = 90+6
2x=96
Divide by 2
2x/2 = 96/2
x = 48
