Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If J can paint a room in 3 hours, in 1 hour she gets \frac{1}{3} of the job done.

If A can paint a room in 4 hours, in 1 hour she gets \frac{1}{4} of the job done. We need to find out how long it takes them if they paint together. The equation for this is:

\frac{1}{3}+\frac{1}{4}=\frac{1}{x} where x is the number of hours it takes them to get the job done together. Multiply everything through by 12x to get

4x + 3x = 12 so

7x = 12 and

x = 1.7 hours to get the room painted together.

amount of flour used/ number of days=60.8/10=6.08.

the average amount of flour used each day=6.08 pounds
