Answer:

42 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

I think this problem should read:

"If it takes 54 minutes for 4 people to paint 6 walls. How many minutes does it take 6 people to paint 7 walls?"

The fewer people working, the more time it takes, so to go from more people to fewer people, multiply the time to give a larger number. To go from fewer people to more people, divide the time to give a smaller number.

The more walls, the more time it takes, so to go from fewer walls to more walls, multiply the time to give a larger number. To go from more walls to fewer walls, divide the time to give a smaller number.

"it takes 54 minutes for 4 people to paint 6 walls"

then

it takes 9 minutes for 4 people to paint 1 wall (1/6 of the walls in 1/6 of the time)

and

it takes 36 minutes for 1 person to paint 1 wall (1/4 of the people take 4 times longer)

then

it takes 252 minutes for 1 people to paint 7 walls (7 walls take 7 times the time of 1 wall)

and

it takes 42 minutes for 6 people to paint 7 walls (6 people work 6 times faster than 1)

Answer:

230

Step-by-step explanation:

First calculate how long it will take one person to paint one wall.

It will take 1/3 of the time to paint one wall. So it will take 46/3 minutes for 10 people to paint one wall.

For only one person, it will take 10 times as long, so it will take 46/3 * 10 =460/3 minutes for one person to paint one wall.

So, the number of minutes it will take for one person to paint 6 walls is 460/3 * 6= 920 .

The number of minutes it will take for 4 people to paint 6 walls is 920÷4=230

Mumz [18]

Joanna bought 7 notebooks and 14 pencils

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1 :

Let x denote the number of notebooks and y denote the number of pencils Joanna bought.

Cost of one notebook = $ 2.30

Cost of one pencil = $1.42

Step 2 :

Total of notebooks and pencils bought  = 21

=> x + y = 21 => y = 21-x

Total cost of notebooks and pencils = $35.98

=> 2.3x + 1.42y = 35.98

Substituting y = 21- x here , we have,

2.3x + 1.42 ( 21-x) = 35.98

2.3x + 29.82 - 1.42x = 35.98

0.88 x = 6.16

=> x = 7

y = 21-x = 21-7 = 14

Step 3 :

Answer :

Joanna bought 7 notebooks and 14 pencils

Andreas93 [3]

Answer:

$70

Step-by-step explanation:

Middletown Equation:

1c +50 = T

Sweet Shoppe Equation:

2c + 30 = T

Set equations equal to one another and solve for first for cupcakes then for cost.

1c + 50 = 2c + 30

c+ 20 = 2c

20 = c (twenty cupcakes would be ordered)

Now insert into either equation ( or both to check)

1(20) + 50 = 70

2(20)+ 30 = 70

Total cost would be $70

Create a polynomial with zeros: x = {-2,3}<br> I have no idea how to do this
aliya0001 [1]

Standard form of polynomial = ax² + bx + c

Zeros: x = {-2,3}

This gives the factors as, (x + 2) (x - 3)

On expanding this:

(x + 2) (x - 3)

x(x - 3) + 2(x - 3)

x² - 3x + 2x - 3

x² - x - 3

Polynomial = <em>x² - x - 3</em>
