Let's look at work rates per minute.
Together they can paint the wall in x minutes.
Working together, in 1 minute, they do 1/x of the job.
The student who paints the wall in 16 minutes does 1/16 of the job in 1 minute.
The student who paints the wall in 24 minutes does 1/24 of the job in 1 minute.
Together, they do 1/16 + 1/24 of the job in 1 minute, but from above, we see that together, they do 1/x of the job in 1 minute, so 1/16 + 1/24 must equal 1/x. That gives us our equation.
1/16 + 1/24 = 1/x
1/16 * 3/3 + 1/24 * 2/2 = 1/x
3/48 + 2/48 = 1/x
5/48 = 1/x
x = 48/5 = 9.6
Answer: It takes them 9.6 minutes, or about 10 minutes to do the job together.

Answer:
80%
Step-by-step explanation:
If you divide 52 by 65 you will get a decimal, then multiply by 100% to get the equivalent.
52/65 = 0.8
0.8 x 100 = 80%
Answer: X=1.5
Step-by-step explanation:
Solution
Perimeter= 2(l+w)
25= 2( 3x+4 +2x+1)
25= 2(3x+2x+4+1)
25= 2(5x+5)
25= 10x+10
Now subtract 10 on both sides..
25-10= 10x+10-10
15=10x
Now divide 10 on both sides to get x
15/10= 10x/10
1.5=X
