Define rates at which the individuals paint.
Bill: x = 1/8 signs/h
Bob: y = (2 signs)/(8 h) = 1/4 signs/h
Barry: z = (4/3 signs)/(8 h) = 1/6 signs/h
The job is to paint 2 signs, working together.
In the first 3 hours, the amount painted is
(x+y+z signs/h)*(3 h) = (1/8 + 1/4 + 1/6)*3 = 13/8 signs
Remaining: 2 - 13/8 = 3/8 signs
Barry quits.
In the next 1/2 hour (30 minutes), the amount painted is
(x + y signs/h)*(0.5 h) = (1/8 + 1/4)*0.5 = 3/16 signs
Remaining: 3/8 - 3/16 = 3/16 signs
Now Bob quits.
The time for Bill to finish the job is
(3/16 signs)/(1/8 signs/h) = 3/2 h
Answer: Bill finishes the job in 1.5 hours (or 1 hour, 30 minutes)
1/2, 2/4, 3/6, 4/8, 5/10, 6/12, 7/14, 8/16, 9/18, 10/20, 11/22, 12/24, 13/26, 14/28, 15/30, 16/32, 17/34, 18/36, 19/38, 20/40
Answer:
4:49
Step-by-step explanation:
00:15 + 4 hours = 4:15
4:15 + 34 minutes = 4:49
Overall the answer is 4:49
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
36 cookies = 1.5 times 24 cookies. therefore 1.5 times ¾ c of sugar will be required. Total sugar needed for 36 cookies is 9/8 c or 1.125 c.
