Answer:  12 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Working together, it takes Sam, Jenna, and Francisco two hours to paint one room.

When Sam works alone, he can paint one room in 6 hours. When Jenna works alone, she can paint one room in 4 hours.

Let 't' be the time taken by Francisco to paint one room on his own.

Then , we have

Rate of work of  Sam +Rate of work of Jenna + Rate of work of  Francisco =Rate of work they all do together

\dfrac{1}{6}+\dfrac{1}{4}+\dfrac{1}{t}=\dfrac{1}{2}

i.e.  \dfrac{1}{t}=\dfrac{1}{2}-(\dfrac{1}{6}+\dfrac{1}{4})

i.e.  \dfrac{1}{t}=\dfrac{1}{2}-(\dfrac{4+6}{24})

i.e.  \dfrac{1}{t}=\dfrac{1}{2}-\dfrac{10}{24}

i.e.  \dfrac{1}{t}=\dfrac{1}{2}-\dfrac{5}{12}

i.e.  \dfrac{1}{t}=\dfrac{6-5}{12}

i.e.  \dfrac{1}{t}=\dfrac{1}{12}

i.e. t= 12

Hence,  Francisco would take 12 hours to  paint one room on his own.

Oliver has 3 times as many rocks in his collection as Katie. Then Oliver collected 75 more rocks and Katie collected 105 more ro
Evgesh-ka [11]

Answer:

The answer to your question is Katie had 15 rocks and Oliver 45 rocks.

Step-by-step explanation:

Conditions

Katie has x amount of rocks

Oliver has 3x amount of rocks

The final amount of rocks

                                    Oliver = 3x + 75

                                     Katie = x + 105

Now, they have the same amount of rocks, then we can equal both equations

                                   3x + 75 = x + 105

Solve for x

                                     3x - x = 105 - 75

                                           2x = 30

                                             x = 30/2

                                             x = 15

Conclusions

At first Katie had 15 rocks and Oliver had 3(15) = 45 rocks

Find the volume of a rectangular pyramid
Nesterboy [21]

Answer:

192 yd³

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of a rectangular pyramid is given by the formula:

V=\frac{1}{3} lwh\text{ where } l \text{ is the base length, }w \text{ is the base width, and }h \text{ is the pyramid height}

In this case: l = 9, w=8, h = 8

\therefore V=\frac{1}{3}(9\text{ yd})(8\text{ yd})(8\text{ yd})=192\text{ yd}^3
