Unsolvable because there is no factor for 13
ANSWER
Paul and Matt will take

to install the floor working together.
EXPLANATION
First, calculate Paul's rate, which is

Next, calculate Matt's rate, which is,

Let us assume that, Paul and Matt took

to do the work together.
Then, the rate of working together is,

Now, add the individual rates and equate to the rate of working together to form an equation that will help us solve for x.

Simplify the left hand side


We reciprocate both sides to get (You could have also done cross multiplication).

If the sides are in the ratio of 11:16:24, it means that they are all multiples of a same number x, according to these factors.
So, the shorter side is 11x feet long, the middle one is 16x feet long, and the longest side is 24x feet long.
This means that the perimeter is
feet long. But we know that this is 510 feet, so we have
.
So, the three sides are 110, 160 and 240 feet long.
To find the area of a triangle knowing its three sides, you can use Heron's formula, which states that, if
is half the perimeter of the triangle whose sides are
, the area
is given by

In our case,
so the formula becomes

.7
because you need to get the original unit price which is 0.7 then multiply that by 1 and get your answer
