Rufus appears before Bill and Ted and offers them a bogus proposition: they must paint a house together with their magical guita

rs in a mere 5 hours. Ted, who is tired, knows that the fastest he can solo rock the paint job through the strings of his guitar is 19 hours. How hard does Bill have to jam to ensure the house is completed in time? Give your answer as the number of hours Bill must play; write your answer as a decimal rounded to two places, without any units.

Answer:

6.79

Step-by-step explanation:

-Let X denote the total amount of the job.

-The job has to be done in 5 hrs, therefore the portion done every hour is:

Rate=\frac{Total}{Time}\\\\=\frac{X}{5}\\\\=\frac{1}{5}X=0.2X

Therefore, the rate of Bill and Ted working jointly must equal the rate calculated above:

R_{Bill}=\frac{X}{19}\\\\=\frac{1}{19}X\\\\R_{Bill}+R_{Ted}=R_{required}\\\\\frac{1}{19}X+R_{Ted}=\frac{1}{5}X\\\\R_{Ted}=\frac{1}{5}X-\frac{1}{19}X\\\\=\frac{14}{95}X\\\\\therefore \frac{14}{95}X=1\ hr\\\\X=1\div \frac{14}{95}\\\\=6.7857\approx 6.79hrs

Hence, Bill working alone should complete the house in 6.79 hrs

Please help!!!!!!! I only have 20 minutes left!!
slavikrds [6]

Step-by-step explanation:

You need to find the total number of students the pie chart will represent:

17 + 35 + 38 = 90

So you know, 360° represents 90 people

You can then find out the angle for each person: 360 ÷ 90 = 4

Each person is 4°

a)

1. 17 people took French so you would do 4° × 17 = 68°

2. 35 people took German so you would do 4° × 35 = 140°

3. 38 people took Italian so you would do 4° × 38 = 152°

b)

17 out of 90 people chose french so the probability would be 17/90
