If Mercedes alone could paint the house in 8 hours, we would expect that both painting together would take less than 8 hours.
In 1 hour: Dorie would paint 1/12 of the house, while Mercedes would paint 1/8. This is a total of 1/12 + 1/8 = 5/24. If they can combine to paint 5/24 of the house in 1 hour, then the total time for the whole house would be
1 / (5/24) = 24/5 = 4.8 hours or 4 4/5 hours

The number of right-handed students in a math class is nine times the number of left-handed students. The total number of studen
nirvana33 [79]
R - Right Handed 
L - Left Handed 

R = 9L ( the number of right handed kids is equal to having 9*number of left handed kids) 
9L + L = 30  ( since total number of people in class is 30) 
10L = 30 
( Divide by 10 both sides )
L = 3 

so... There are 3 Left Handed kids and 27 Right Handed kids ( since R = 9L , R = 9(3) = 27)

Hope this helped!

I need help with number 8
murzikaleks [220]
Since we know what he earns hourly, and his sales, we can figure out his full gross pay for the week.
As so:

We can set up an equation like this:
<em>h</em> = hours
<em>s</em> = sales
9.60h + 5%s

Now, we substitute.
9.60(35) + 5%(230)

Next, solve.
336.00 + 11.50
$347.50

$347.50 was Glen's gross pay for the week.

Hope I could help! If my math is wrong, or I did not provide the answer you were looking for, let me know! However, if I did well, please consider marking as <em>Brainliest!
</em>Have a good one!
