Answer:
At a combined speed of 6 in/min, it takes us 24 mins to clean the wall
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the question did not provide the speed with which each student cleans, we can make assumptions. This is so that we can solve the question before us
Assuming student 1 cleans at a speed of 2 inches per minute, student 2 cleans at a speed of 2½ inches per minute & student 3 cleans at a speed of 1½ inches per minute.
Let's list the parameters we have:
Height of wall (h) = 12 ft, Speed (student 1) = 2 in/min, Speed (student 2) = 2½ in/min, Speed (student 3) = 1½ in/min
Speed of cleaning wall = Height of wall ÷ Time to clean wall
Time to clean wall (t) = Height of wall ÷ Speed of cleaning wall
since students 1, 2 and 3 are working together, we will add their speed together; v = (2 + 2½ + 1½) = 6 in/min
1 ft = 12 in
Time (t) = h ÷ v = (12 * 12) ÷ 6 = 144 ÷ 6
Time (t) = 24 mins
12 bro it even says to follow the order of operations. If there is only addition and subtraction you just go from left to right. Same with if there is only multiplication and division.
