It takes 2/5 of an hour to paint a wall. How many walls could you paint in 4 1/2 hours?

1 answer:

5 0

Answer:

Easy! Put away your slide ruler! Just take one painter. He takes one hour to paint 1/3 of a wall.. Boy these guys must be in the union for they are really slow.. so lets assume one painter painted all 8 walls. That is a lot of cigarette breaks, it would take him 24 hours to paint all 8 walls…. But he has 3 other buddies… yea! so 4 into 24 = 6 Hours!

A disco ball is shaped like a sphere with a diameter of 16 inches. To the nearest square inch, what is the surface of the disco

Mademuasel [1]

If the diameter is 16 inches, then its radius is half that, r = 8.

$\bf \textit{surface area of a sphere}\\\\
A=4\pi r^2\quad 
\begin{cases}
r=radius\\
-----\\
r=8
\end{cases}\implies A=4\pi 8^2$
