We can put this word problem into an equation.
1/3x = 7
Now we just have to solve for x. To find x we need to multiply by three on both sides.
1/3x = 7
*3 *3
-------------
x = 21
So it will take 21 hours to paint one wall.

Answer:
With $30, Peter can afford 5 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
Insurance Charge = $7.5
Charges = $4.5 per hour
Required
Determine the number of hours $30 can afford
First, we need to determine the equation.
<em>Total Charges = Charges per hour + Insurance Charge</em>
Substitute values for Charges per hour and Insurance Charge
Total Charges = 4.5 per hour + 7.5
Let the number of hours be n;
So,
Total Charges = 4.5n + 7.5
To calculate Peter's; substitute 30 for total charges

Subtract 7.5 from both sides


Divide both sides by 4.5


Hence;
<em>With $30, Peter can afford 5 hours</em>
In 1 minute the copy machine copies = 24
That means
In 60 seconds the copy machine copies = 24
First we need to convert 5 minutes and 30 seconds to seconds
Then
5 minutes and 30 seconds = (5 * 60) + 30
= 300 + 30
= 330 seconds
So
In 330 seconds the copy machine will copy = (24/60) * 330
= 4 * 33
= 132
So in 5 minutes and 30 seconds the copy machine will copy 132 copies.
