Answer:
The workers will need 10 days to finish the job.
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve this question we can use a compound rule of three. We have:
10 road workers -> 5 days -> 2h/day
2 road workers -> x days -> 5h/days
The first thing we should do is analyze how the proportions between the variables work, if they're inversely or directly proportional. If we raise the number of workers we expect that the amount of days needed to finish the job lowers and if we raise the number of hours worked in a day we expect that the workers would need less days to finish the job. So we need to invert the fractions that are inversely proportional to the amount of days worked, then we have:
2 -> 5 -> 5
10-> x -> 2
x = (5*2*10)/(2*5) = 100/10 = 10 days
Answer:
2 hrs 13 mins
Step-by-step explanation:
If Richard can paint the living room in 4 hrs, then in 1 hour he can paint 1/4 of the living .
If Vanessa can paint the living room in 5 hours, then in one hour, she can paint 1/5 of the living room.
In one hour Richard and Vanessa can paint 1/4 + 1/5 = 1/y
y is the number of hours it will take both Richard and Vanessa to paint the living room. 1/y is how much of the house they can paint in one hour.
1/4 + 1/5 = 1/y
(5 + 4)/20. ( find the LCM)
9/20 = 1/y
9y= 20
y = 20/9
y = 2.22hrs
y = 2 hrs 13 mins
