In one day, Mr. Stevens painted 1/5 of a house.
Each son paints 1/4.5 of a house in one day.

If Mr. Stevens and his two sons work together, the would paint (1/5+1/4.5+1.4.5)=(9/45+10/45+10/45)=29/45 of a house in one day.

It will take them 1/(29/45)=45/29 days to finish painting the house, assuming their work is additive, like no waiting for drying for the second coat, etc.

kramer

Answer:

The first question:

x = -1

Step-by-step explanation:

Step  1  :

Pulling out like terms :

1.1     Pull out like factors :

  -x - 1  =   -1 • (x + 1)

Equation at the end of step  1  :

Step  2  :

Solving a Single Variable Equation :

2.1      Solve  :    -x-1 = 0

Add  1  to both sides of the equation :

                     -x = 1

Multiply both sides of the equation by (-1) :  x = -1

One solution was found :

                  x = -1

Yuri [45]

Step-by-step explanation:

This can be put into fractions like this

Say x is the length of the missing dimension

8.5/11 = 10.5/x

Because the 2 drawings are SIMILAR, the ratio of their side lengths has to also be the same

8.5 ÷ 10.5 = 0.8095

11 × 0.8095 = 8.9047

Roung the answer to the nearest tenth

x = 8.9 in
