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

Vlada [557]
To find the decreased percentage,here's what we can do:
\frac{originl \: value - new \: value}{originl \: value}  \times 100\%

In this case,the eqaution would be:
\frac{280 - 210}{280}  \times 100\% \\  =  \frac{70}{280}  \times 100\% \\  =  \frac{1}{4}  \times 100\% \\  = 25\%
Hope it helps!

Use a number line to add:
Jobisdone [24]
Start at 14 on the number line. Since 25 is negative you’re going to be moving to the left. After 14 hops you’ll reach zero, you’re adding -25 so you’ll have to reach a total of 25 hops to the left. You have moved so far 14 hops so you still have 11 to go. Moving 11 more hops to the left results in -11. Now you have reached the total number of hops 25, the negative sign indicated you were moving towards the left. So 14+(-25)=-11
