It takes 20 minutes for 5 people to paint 5 walls.

1 answer:

5 0

It would take 36 minutes. If you use unit rate, you would take 20min/5people and see how many minutes does it take to paint one wall. Which would be represented by 4min/1person. To find how many minutes it would take for 9 walls, you get 4min/1person to become 9 people for the denominator. Then, whatever you do to the denominator you do to the numerator. So, 4 times 9 is 36. Therefore, making the answer 36minutes/9people.

I cant believe how bad my brother, Reuben, is at growing things. He bought a whole bunch of plants at the nursery the other day.

Answer:

68 plants.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of plants that Reuben bought from the nursery.

We have been given that Reuben bought a whole bunch of plants at the nursery the other day. Right away, five died. So number of plant left would be $x-5$ .

We are also told that then our dog dug up 2/9 of them. So number of plants left after dug-up would be $\frac{2}{9}(x-5)$ .

Further a rabbit came and ate ½ of what was left. So number of plants left would be $\frac{\frac{2}{9}(x-5)}{2}=\frac{2}{9\times 2}(x-5)=\frac{1}{9}(x-5)$ .

Since Reuben had only 7 plants left, so we will equate our expression with 7 and solve for x as:

$\frac{1}{9}(x-5)=7$

$9\times \frac{1}{9}(x-5)=7\times 9$

$x-5=63$

$x-5+5=63+5$

$x=68$

Therefore, Reuben bought 68 plants at the nursery.

Solve square root <br> X^2+12x+43=0

AlekseyPX

$x^2+12x+43=0
$

$x= \dfrac{-b+ \sqrt{b^2-4ac} }{2a}, \dfrac{-b- \sqrt{b^2-4ac} }{2a}$

$x= \dfrac{-12+ \sqrt{12^2-4*43} }{2}$ , $\dfrac{-12- \sqrt{12^2-4*43} }{2}$

$x= \dfrac{-12+2 \sqrt{7i} }{2}, \dfrac{-12-2 \sqrt{7i} }{2}$

$x=-6+ \sqrt{7i},-6- \sqrt{7i}$
