Assuming they work until their cost become the same, obviously.
The difference between the first charge of painter A and painter B = 376 - 280 = 96.
The hourly cost difference between painter B and painter A = 15 - 12 = 3.
So, painter A in the first hour has 96 more dollars than painter B, and as every hour pass, the difference goes down by 3 (as painter B gets 3 more dollars every hour)
Therefore, it would take 96 : 3 = 32 hours for the cost to be the same
Recheck : After 32 hours, painter A has 376 + 32 x 12 = 760 (dollars)
painter B has : 280 + 15 x 32 = 760 (dollars)
Oof oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooofffffffffffff
Answer:
6
Step-by-step explanation:
The overbar means the digit repeats indefinitely. The repeating decimal 0.333... is equivalent to 1/3, so this is the simple addition ...
3 2/3 + 2 1/3 = 5 3/3 = 6
_____
<em>Comment on the repeating decimal</em>
1/3 = 0.3333... repeating is one of the first decimal equivalents you learn.
__
If you're into repeating decimals. you may have learned how to convert them to fractions:
x = 0.3333... repeating . . . . . . . give a name to the value
10x = 3.3333... repeating . . . . . multiply by 10^p where p is the number of digits in the repeating pattern
10x - x = 3.3333... - 0.3333... = 3 . . . . . subtract: the repeating portions cancel
9x = 3 . . . . . . . . . .simplify
x = 3/9 = 1/3 . . . . .divide by the x-coefficient; simplify
The answer to the first part is D
