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

Verdich [7]

Answer:

Part A: 25% of 50 = 12.5

Part B: 25% of 60 = 15

Part C: 50% of 60 = 30

Part D: 75% of 60 = 45

Part E: 75% of 30 = 22.5

Part F: 100% of 22.5 = 22.5

Part G: 10% of 22.5 = 2.25

Part H: 50% of 45.7 = 22.85

Step-by-step explanation:

To find - Do you know the answer to

              Part A: 25% of 50 =

              Part B: 25% of 60 =

              Part C: 50% of 60 =

              Part D: 75% of 60 =

              Part E: 75% of 30 =

              Part F: 100% of 22.5 =

              Part G: 10% of 22.5 =

              Part H: 50% of 45.7 =

Proof -

Part A :

25% of 50 =  \frac{25}{100} *50 = \frac{1}{4}*50 = 12.5

⇒25% of 50 = 12.5

Part B :

25% of 60 =  \frac{25}{100} *60 = \frac{1}{4}*60 = 15

⇒25% of 60 = 15

Part C :

50% of 60 =  \frac{50}{100} *60 = \frac{1}{2}*60 = 30

⇒50% of 60 = 30

Part D :

75% of 60 = \frac{75}{100} *60 = \frac{75}{10}*6 = 45

⇒75% of 60 = 45

Part E :

75% of 30 = \frac{75}{100} *30 = \frac{75}{10}*3 = 22.5

⇒75% of 30 = 22.5

Part F :

100% of 22.5 = \frac{100}{100} *22.5 = 22.5

⇒ 100% of 22.5 = 22.5

Part G :

10% of 22.5 = \frac{10}{100} *22.5 = 2.25

⇒ 10% of 22.5 = 2.25

Part H :

50% of 45.7 =  \frac{50}{100} *45.7 = \frac{1}{2}*45.7 = 22.85

⇒50% of 45.7 = 22.85

Marcus is 5 19/24 feet tall. Ben is 5 9/16 feet tall. Which of the two boys is taller?
Ksju [112]

well, Marcus and Ben are both 5 feet tall and a little bit more, Marcus is 19/24 more and Ben is 9/16 more, so the 5's in the fraction are the same, so which one is larger, 19/24 or 9/16?

we can simply put both fractions with the same denominator, by <u>multiplying one by the other's denominator</u>, so let's proceed,

\bf \stackrel{\textit{\large Marcus is taller}}{5~feet + \left( \cfrac{19}{24}\cdot \cfrac{16}{16}\implies \boxed{\cfrac{304}{384}} \right)}\qquad \qquad \qquad \stackrel{\textit{\large Ben}}{5~feet + \left( \cfrac{9}{16}\cdot \cfrac{24}{24}\implies \boxed{\cfrac{216}{384}} \right)}
