Answer:

Therefore, Steve will paint house for 20.6 days.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that Steve determines that it would take them 9 days to paint the house together (if they were both healthy) and that it would take Janet (when healthy) 16 days to paint the house alone.

We conclude that in 1 day Janet painted 1/16 of the house. In nine days, Janet painted 9/16 of house.

So, 7/16 of house paint Steve in nine days.

We have the following proportion:

\frac{7}{16}:9=1:x\\\\\frac{7}{16}x=9\\\\x=9\cdot \frac{16}{7}\\\\x=20.6

Therefore, Steve will paint house for 20.6 days.
