Answer: it will take them 8.89 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Amber can paint a room in 20 hours. This means that Amber's working rate per hour is 1/20

Christy can paint the same room in 16 hours. This means that Christy's working rate per hour is 1/16

If they work together, they would be working simultaneously and their unit rates is additive. This means that their combined rate would be

1/20 + 1/16

Assuming it takes t hours for both of them to paint the room working together. It means that their combined working rate per hour is 1/t. Therefore

1/20 + 1/16 = 1/t

(16 + 20/320 = 1/t

36/320 = 1/t

t = 320/36

t = 8.89 hours

Answer:

a)  A n  (B' n C') =  {3, 9}.

b) (AUB) n (BUC) = {2,4,5,6,7,8}

Step-by-step explanation:

a)  Rewriting C ; C = {4,5,6,7,8}

B' = {3,5,7,9} and C' = {2, 3, 9}

so (B' n C') = {3, 9}

and A n  (B' n C') =  {3, 9}.

b)  {A U B} = { 2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9} and {B U C} = {2,4,5,6,7,8}

so (AUB) n (BUC) = {2,4,5,6,7,8}
