There are two groups of people, three in each, for painting a wall. The numbers in the next two sentences express the time (in h

ours) spent on painting. In group A, Alex 2.5, Adam 3.6, and Antimo 4.7. In group Z, Zairo 2.2, Zeno 3.2, and Zubro 4.9. Estimate the total time for group A and for group Z when all three workers in each group work together. Which group can paint the wall faster and why do you think so?

Answer:

1. The total time taken for group A to paint the wall together is 1.12 hours

2. The total time taken for group Z to paint the wall together is 1.03 hours

3. group Z can paint the wall faster

Step-by-step explanation:

The time spent on painting are;

Group A

Alex = 2.5 hours

Adam = 3.6 hours

Antimo = 4.7 hours

1. We have for group A

Alex's paint rate = 1 wall in 2.5 hours = 1/2.5 wall/hour

Adam's paint rate = 1 wall in 3.6 hours = 1/3.6 wall/hour

Antimo's paint rate = 1 wall in 4.7 hours = 1/4.7 wall/hour

When the three workers work together, we have;

1/2.5 wall/hour + 1/3.6 wall/hour + 1/4.7 wall/hour = 3767/4230 wall/hour

Therefore, the time for the three workers of group A to paint one wall is given as follows;

Time \ to \ paint \, one \, wall = \frac{1 \, wall}{\frac{3767}{4230} wall/hour}  = 1\tfrac{463}{3767} hours

The total time taken for group A to paint the wall together = 1.12 hours

2. The data for group Z is as follows;

Zairo = 2.2 hours

Zeno = 3.2 hours

Zubro = 4.9 hours

We have for group Z

Zairo's paint rate = 1 wall in 2.2 hours = 1/2.2 wall/hour

Zeno's paint rate = 1 wall in 3.2 hours = 1/3.2 wall/hour

Zubro's paint rate = 1 wall in 4.9 hours = 1/4.9 wall/hour

When the three workers work together, we have;

1/2.2 wall/hour + 1/3.2 wall/hour + 1/4.9 wall/hour = 8375/8624 wall/hour

Therefore, the time for the three workers of group Z to paint one wall is given as follows;

Time \ to \ paint \, one \, wall = \frac{1 \, wall}{\frac{8375}{8624} wall/hour}  = 1\tfrac{249}{8375} hours

The total time taken for group Z to paint the wall together = 1.03 hours

3. Since the total time for group A to paint the wall which is 1.2 hours is more than the total time for group Z to paint the wall which is 1.03 hours, group Z can paint the wall faster.
