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.

The length of a rectangle is (2x+5) units and the breadth is (3x-1) units .Find the perimeter and the area of the rectangle.
jolli1 [7]

Answer:

Perimeter =  10x + 8 units.

Area = 6x^2 + 13x - 5 units^2.

Step-by-step explanation:

The perimeter  is 2*length + 2*breadth

= 2(2x + 5) + 2(3x - 1)

= 4x + 10 + 6x - 2

= 10x + 8 units.

The area = length * breadth

= (2x + 5)(3x - 1)

= 6x^2 - 2x + 15x - 5

= 6x^2 + 13x - 5 units^2.

First, convert the distance of a typical marathon to kilometers.
1 mi = 1.609 km
26.2 miles = 42.165 km

Divide this distance by Allan's average speed to get his average time.

42.165 km / 12 km/hr = 3.514 hours

Answer:

It is possible for a set of data values to have more than one mode. If there are two data values that occur most frequently, we say that the set of data values is bimodal. If there is no data value or data values that occur most frequently, we say that the set of data values has no mode.
