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

Staples recently charged $3.79 per ream (package of 500 sheets) of regular paper and $5.49 per ream of paper made of recycled fi
Ipatiy [6.2K]
<h3>Given</h3>

regular paper costs $3.79 per ream

recycled paper costs $5.49 per ream

$582.44 was spent for 116 reams

<h3>Find</h3>

the numbers of reams of each type that were purchased

<h3>Solution</h3>

Let r and g represent the numbers of reams of regular and recycled ("green") paper, respectively.

... r + g = 116 . . . . . . . . 116 reams were purchased

... 3.79r + 5.49g = 582.44 . . . . this is the total cost of the purchase

Solve the first equation for r and substitute that into the second equation.

... r = 116 - g

... 3.79(116 - g) + 5.49g = 582.44 . . . . . use the expression for r

... 1.70g + 439.64 = 582.44 . . . . . . . . . simplify

... g = (582.44 -439.64)/1.70 = 84 . . . . subtract the constant, divide by 1.70

... r = 116 -84 = 32 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . use the equation for r

32 regular reams and 84 recycled reams were purchased
