If Tom, George and Mario work together, they can paint a 600 ft2 room in 4 hours. When only George and Mario work together, it t

akes 8 hours to paint the room. Tom and George, working together, take 6 hours to paint the room. How long would it take Tom to paint the room alone? Hint: Write the system of equations shown below in augmented form, then solve the system for T (Tom's painting rate). Next, use the equation Painted Area = Painting Rate× Time and solve for Time to determine how long it would take Tom to paint the room alone.

8(0+G+M)=600
6T+G+0)=600

We call:

T = Tom's paiting rate ( \frac{ ft^{2} }{h} )
G = George's paiting rate ( \frac{ ft^{2} }{h} )
M = Mario's paiting rate ( \frac{ ft^{2} }{h} )

As the first statement says that they can work together, then:

T + G + M = Painting rate working together, that is the surface area they paint per hour.

Since the problem says that they last four hours painting a 600ft^{2} room, then we need to multiply the amount of hours times the painting rate that is equal the surface area of the room, so:

4(T + G + M) = 600

Applying a similar reasoning, the George and Mario's painting rate is:

0 + G + M 
Note that 0 implies that Tom didn't work in this case.

As they last eight hours painting the room, then:

8(0 + G + M) = 600

The same reasoning is applied to Tom and George working together. In this case 0 implies that Mario didn't work, so:

6(T + G + 0) = 600

We have a system of linear equations in three variables T, G, M:

<span>4(T+G+M)=600
8(0+G+M)=600
6(T+G+0)=600
</span>
Solving:

(1) T + G + M = 150
(2) G + M = 75
(3) T + G = 100

Substitute (3) in (1):
100 + M = 150 ∴ M = 50

Replace M in (2):
G + 50 = 75 ∴ G = 25

Substitute G in (3)
T + 25 = 100 ∴ T = 75

Then, the painting rates are:
Tom = 75 ( \frac{ ft^{2} }{h} )
George = 25 ( \frac{ ft^{2} }{h} )
Mario = 50 ( \frac{ ft^{2} }{h} )

<span>Solving for Time to determine how long it would take Tom to paint the room alone:
</span>
<span>Painted Area = Painting Rate×Time, so:

</span>Time Tom =  \frac{Painted Area}{Painting Rate (T)}
Time Tom = \frac{600}{75} = 8 hours

A radio is being discounted 20%. If the sale price is $51.44, what was the original price of the radio? A. $12.86, B. 64.30, C.
katrin2010 [14]
The equation for decreasing a price by 20% is 
original price x 0.8 = sale price

Here, we can fill in the sale price so
original price x 0.8 = 51.44

This can be rearranged to show:
51.44 ÷ 0.8 = original price

So the original price was $64.30

Answer = B - $64.30

If my diameter is 20.6ft how would i get my radius,area,circumference?
sveta [45]

Step-by-step explanation:

Radius is half of the diameter

Circumference is 2*pi*radius

Area is pi*radius^2

So r (radius)= 10.3

C (circumference)=64.72

and A (area)=333.29

What is the value of 2/3^-4
Reptile [31]

Answer:

\frac{16}{49}

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve problems like this, we need to multiply the base ,\frac{2}{3} , the amount of times as the exponent, 4.

Essentially, the equation is \frac{2}{3} x \frac{2}{3}  x \frac{2}{3}  x \frac{2}{3} .

The product would be \frac{16}{49}.

Now we can't forget that the exponent is a negative. But because the exponent is an even number, we don't need to worry about that.

Hope this helped :)
