You can solve this one by adding their rates, but you have to invert the numbers they give you to find the rate. Rate is measured in something per unit of time, and "per" indicates division. So the rates are: 1/3 of an hour (Sally) and 1/6 of an hour (Steve). So add the rates: 1/3 + 1/6 = 1/2. (1/3 is 2/6, and 2/6 + 1/6 = 3/6). Since their combined rate is 1/2 of a room in one hour, it takes them two hours to paint the room.
This answer makes sense: It takes Sally three hours by herself; with Steve's help, she's faster, but not THAT much faster, because he's pretty slow. You can often spot-check word problem answers like this by giving it a common sense once-over. If we came up with four hours, that would clearly be wrong: it should take her LONGER if she's getting help.
Answer:
a. 144 cubic foot
b. 12 ft
c. 18 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the volume of prism A be V_a
and that of prism b be V_b
ATQ, V_a + V_b= 432
also V_a= 0.5 V_b
⇒1.5 V_b= 432
= V_b= 432/1.5= 288 cubic feet
therefore V_a= 144 cubic feet
volume of prism= area of base×height = V_a
24×h = 144
⇒h= 12 ft
A_b= 2/3×24
⇒base area of prism B= 16 sq.ft
now 16×h_b= 288⇒h_b= 288/16= 18 ft
A. Negative ♡
