Answer:
12.571 length
x= 1.8571 or 13/7
Step-by-step explanation:
Hours to paint one room
<span>Jake: t hours </span>
<span>Lionel: t-2 hours </span>
<span>Wayne: (1.5)(t-2) hours </span>
<span>Now who is Donald? </span>
<span>Shall we assume that by "Donald" you meant "Wayne"? </span>
<span>If t is 6 hours, then the hours to paint one room is </span>
<span>Jake: 6 hours </span>
<span>Lionel: 4 hours </span>
<span>Wayne: 6 hours </span>
<span>This means that in one hour: </span>
<span>Jake can paint 1/6 of a room, </span>
<span>Lionel can paint 1/4 of a room, </span>
<span>Wayne can paint 1/6 of a room. </span>
<span>Added together, the three of them can paint (1/6 + 1/4 + 1/6) = 7/12 of a room in one hour.</span>
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve for m, we need to have m on the right side by itself.
<u>Subtract 14 1/6 from both sides:</u>
<u />
6 5/6 equals m.
