Answer:

  • A: 13 1/3 days
  • B: 40 days

Step-by-step explanation:

If person A can paint the house in 'a' days, then person B takes 3a days. Each day, the total amount of house painted when they work together is ...

  1/a + 1/(3a) = 1/10

  4/(3a) = 1/10 . . . combine terms

  40 = 3a . . . . . . . cross multiply

  a = 40/3 = 13 1/3 . . . . . divide by 3

A can paint the house in 13 1/3 days.

B can paint the house in 40 days.

How long would it take franklin to shovel the driveway alone?
motikmotik

Answer:

Time taken by Franklin to shovel alone is 65.5 minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the time taken by Franklin to shovel alone = x minutes.

Since, the time taken by Angela to shovel = 180 minutes and the time taken by both = 48 minutes.

Then, we have,

Amount of shoveling done in 1 minute by Angela = \frac{1}{180}

Amount of shoveling done in 1 minute by both = \frac{1}{48}

Amount of shoveling done in 1 minute by Franklin= \frac{1}{x}

So, we have,

\frac{1}{180}+\frac{1}{x}=\frac{1}{48}

i.e. \frac{x+180}{180x}=\frac{1}{48}

i.e. 48(x+180)=180x

i.e. 48x+8640=180x

i.e. 132x=8640

i.e. x= 65.5 minutes

Thus, the time taken by Franklin to shovel alone is 65.5 minutes.

The figure shows a blueprint of a dining room, kitchen, and living room. Each square has a side length of 1/4 inch. Tile costs $
Anastaziya [24]

Answer:

The cost of the tile for the kitchen is $1,680

Step-by-step explanation:

step 1

we know that

The scale drawing is \frac{1}{16}\frac{in}{ft}

The dimensions of the kitchen in the blueprint are

L=3(1/4)=3/4 in

W=5(1/4)=5/4 in

step 2

Find the actual dimensions of the kitchen

Divide the dimensions of the kitchen in the blueprint by the scale drawing

L=(3/4)/(1/16)=12 ft

W=(5/4)/(1/16)=20 ft

The area is equal to

A=(12)(20)=240 ft²

step 3

Find the cost of the tile for the kitchen

7(240)=$1,680

Two students from a group of eight boys and 12 girls are sent to represent the school in a parade if the students are chosen at
Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

If you choose one person from the group, you have a 12/20 chance of them being a girl. Now, if the first person is a girl, we have one less girl and one less person to choose from. So, the new probability for the second person is 11/19.

Then, we multiply the chances

12/20 * 11/19

3/5 * 11/19

33/95
