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.
4(T+G+M)=600
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

If a number can be written or can be converted to p/q form, where p and q are integers and q is a non-zero number, then it is said to be rational and if it cannot be written in this form, then it is irrational.

Marco is making three tiles pictures. he uses 310 green tiles to make each picture. he uses 50 fewer red tiles than green tiles
Anettt [7]
Hi there!

To solve this problem, we need to first find the amount of red tiles he used by subtracting 50 from 310, and then finding the sum of the two numbers. 

310 - 50 = 260

Now, we know that there are 260 red tiles.

3 * 310 = 930
3 * 260 = 780

930 + 780 = 1710

So, the answer is 1710 tiles total. 

Hope this helps!
