Patrice, by himself, can paint four rooms in 10 hours. If he hires April to help, they can do the same job together in 6 hours.

If he lets April work alone, how long will it take her to paint the four rooms?

-- The whole discussion involves 4 rooms, never more and never less,
so we can call the 4 rooms "1 job" for simplicity.

-- Patrice, by himself, does the job in 10 hours.  So he does 1/10 of
the job each hour.

-- Working together, Patrice and April do the job in 6 hours.  So when
they work together, they do 1/6 of the job each hour.

-- April's part of the job is (1/6 - 1/10) = (5/30 - 3/30) = 2/30 = 1/15 job per hour.

-- Her unit rate alone is  1/15 job per hour, or  <em>15 hours</em> per job.

Effectus [21]
Total money=$120
on shirt=$25.65
on socks=$7.98
on a cd=$16.23
on snack=$4.58
so total money left=total money-total money spent 
=$120-($25.65+$7.98+$16.23+$4.58)
=$120-$54.44
so total money left=$65.56

Slope (12,-18),(11,12)
olga nikolaevna [1]
If you are trying to find the slope using only these two points then you should first take note of what your X and Y values are. For instance, 12 & 11 are your X values and -18 & 12 are your Y values. Knowing this you can now find your slope by doing y2-y1/
x2-x1. You will get the fraction -30/1 or -30 which is your slope. Hope that made sense!
