Hank is painting his grandfather's fence. He painted 40 linear feet in 85 minutes. He still has 360 linear feet to paint. His co
usins, Sam and Alex, come to help. Sam paints twice as fast as Hank, and Alex paints half as fast as Hank. Find the constant of proportionality for the fence painting rate of Hank, Sam, and Alex combined.
The correct answer for the question that is being presented above is this one: "C) 1.6." Hank is painting his grandfather's fence. He painted 40 linear feet in 85 minutes. He still has 360 linear feet to paint. His cousins, Sam and Alex, come <span>to help. Sam paints twice as fast and Alex paints half as fast as Hank. The constant of proportionality that relates the current fence painting rate is 1.6.</span>
C), cause you would subtract 5 from 53 in order to move it, and would get 6x=48. Then, you would divide by six on both sides, and the answer would be x=8, so Number C.
