Let's first break it down to the time 8 people need for one wall. That would be 10 minutes, right? If one person would have to do it in stead of 8, you'd expect him to take 80 minutes.
To paint 7 walls, he would nee 7x80 = 560 minutes. 10 people would do that 10 times faster, ie., 56 minutes.
I know puzzles like these always have a mindtrick. Did I miss anything?? ;-)
I think it would be $77.00
Answer:
The actual distance between the cities is 211.67 cm.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
The map key indicates that 4.5 cm is equivalent to 75 cm.
Now, to find the actual distance between the cities if the cities are 12.7 cm apart on the map.
Let the actual distance be
.
So, we set a proportion to find the actual distance:
4.5:12.7 = 75:x.
<em>Changing into fractions.</em>

<em>By cross multiplication we get:</em>

<em>Dividing both sides by 4.5 we get:</em>

Therefore, the actual distance between the cities is 211.67 cm.
