Answer:

B. 8ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The perimeter of a rectangle is given by

P = 2(l+w) where l is the length and w is the width

Substituting in the given values

48 = 2(16+w)

Divide each side by 2

48/2 = 2/2(16+w)

24 = 16+w

Subtract 16 from each side

24-16 =16+w-16

8 =w

Nata [24]

How much part can sally paint in an hour ?
a ÷ 7 = a/7

And what about Steve ?
a ÷ 9 = a/9

Where, a is the total area of the room.

So, let the time taken by both of them to paint the room together be 't'

So,
t(a/7 + a/9) = a
t(9a/63 + 7a/63) = a
t(16a/63) = a
t = 63/16 ≈ 4 hr
