Answer:

7 hours 30min

Step-by-step explanation:

Step one :

Given data

We are told that Erica can paint 1 room in 5hours

Her work rate is 1/5 room per hour

And also with the assistance of her friend they can paint 1 room in 3 hours

Hence their combined work rate is 1/3 room per hour

Step two

The combined work expression is

1/A+1/B=1/T

Where A=Erica's work rate

B=Rachael's work rate

T=combined work

1/5+1/B=1/3

1/B=1/3-1/5

1/B=5-3/15

1/B=2/15

B=15/2

B=7.5 hours

It will take Rachel 7 hours 30min to paint the room

Red roses come 3 to a package, and white roses come 5 to a package. If an equal number of red and white roses are wanted to make
Katen [24]

Answer:

B :- 15

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

A package of red rose contains = 3 pieces

A package of white rose contains = 5 pieces

If an equal number of red and white roses are wanted to make bouquets, what is the minimum number of each that can be purchased ?

Solution:

As here given that there are two types of package of roses, red roses come 3 pieces to each packet and white roses come 5 pieces to each packet and we have to find equal minimum number of  red roses as well as white roses to be purchased, we will simply find the Lowest common multiple of 3 and 5.

Multiples of 3 :- 3, 6, 9,12, 15, 18, 21, 24

Multiples of 5 :- 5, 10, 15, 20, 25

<em>Lowest common multiple is 15, that means </em><em>15 is the minimum number of pieces of each that can be purchased to make bouquets.</em>

And number of packets of red rose have to purchase = 3 \times <em><u>5</u></em> = 15, 5 packages.

And number of packets of white rose have to purchase = 5 \times <em><u>3</u></em> = 15 , 3 packages.
