Let n be old painters time. Then the new painters are 2n. So:
1/n+1/2n=1/6
2+1=2n/6
2n=18
n=9
The old painters take 9 hours; the new ones take 18

Explain how you have solved for x and show your workings out. I will award the brainliest 25 points!
Brums [2.3K]

Answer:

The value of x is 10º.

Step-by-step explanation:

From Euclidean Geometry we remember that the sum of internal angles within a triangle equals to 180º. We present the resulting triangle after applying some geometric handling in the image attached below. Then, the triangle satisfies the following equation:

100^{\circ} + (80^{\circ}-5\cdot x)+(4\cdot x +10^{\circ}) = 180^{\circ} (1)

190^{\circ} - x = 180^{\circ}

x = 10^{\circ}

The value of x is 10º.

. There are 11 boys and 5 girls that tried out to
Lisa [10]

We want to find the probability that the two students chosen for the duet are boys. We will find that the probability that both students chosen for the duet are boys is 0.458

If we assume that the selection is totally random, then all the students have the same<em> </em><em>probability </em><em>of being chosen.</em>

This means that, for the first place in the duet, the probability of randomly selecting a boy is equal to the quotient between the number of boys and the total number of students, this is:

P = 11/16

For the second member of the duet we compute the probability in the same way, but this time there is one student less and one boy less (because one was already selected).

Q = 10/15

The joint probability (so both of these events happen together) is just the product of the individual probabilities, this will give:

Probability = P*Q = (11/16)*(10/15) = 0.458

So the probability that both students chosen for the duet are boys is 0.458
