Answer: About 3 hours and 5 minutes to paint the room together.

Step-by-step explanation:

Sally can paint 1/5 of the room in an hour and Steve can paint 1/8 of the room in an hour.

Room/Hour

1/5 ± 1/8 =8/40  

8/40+5/40=13/40

How long to paint the room?

13/40 x 1= 40/13

40÷13=3.0777

So the answer will be Sally and Steve can paint the room in about 3 hours and 5 minutes

So, No. of ways of envelope having red card = 3+2 = 5

No. of required ways of envelope having 1 red card and 1 black card = 2
