Answer:

The student took 2.5 minutes to paint 1 square foot.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to know how long the student took to paint each square foot we first need to know the total area of the bulletin board. Since it is a rectangle we can compute it's area by multiplying the width and the height. That is:

area = 2*3 = 6 square foot

Since the student took 15 minutes to paint the whole board the pace at which he was working can be calculated by dividing the total area of the board by the time he took to paint all of it. So we have:

pace = 6/15 = 0.4 foot/min

To find how long it took him to paint 1 square foot we can divide it by the pace he was painting. We have:

time = 1/0.4 = 2.5 minutes

The student took 2.5 minutes to paint 1 square foot.

andrew11 [14]

Answer:

The answer is 8 because 28=50- 4n we have to group like terms so 28- 50= -4n therefore 28-50 will be -32 = -4n therefore we have to divide both side by the coefficient of n that is -4 and minus 4 goes to itself 1 and to - 32 8 because the minus sign will cancel the minus

Math Question :

Let x = amount of mortgage (aka the amount by the bank)

25% of the monthly income of $3000 is 0.25*3000 = 750 dollars

So using this rule, the family can pay up to $750 per month on mortgage

1% of the amount loaned (x) is equal to this figure, so

0.01*x = 750
0.01*x/0.01 = 750/0.01
x = 75000

Therefore, the most expensive mortgage this family can afford is $75,000. Anything higher and they go over budget.
