The number of time it would take Todd to paint the room alone is 15 hours.

  • Let the Todd's time be t.

<u>Given the following data:</u>

  • Combine time = 4 hours
  • Sue's time = 10 hours
  • Jeff's time = 12 hours

To calculate the number of time it would take Todd to paint the room alone:

How to solve a word problem:

In order to solve this exercise, we would first of all calculate their individual rate and combined rate respectively. Finally, we would add their individual rates together and equate it to the combined rate.

<u>For </u><u>Sue</u><u>:</u>

Rate = \frac{1}{10} \;work/hr

<u>For </u><u>Jeff</u><u>:</u>

Rate = \frac{1}{12} \;work/hr

<u>For </u><u>Todd</u><u>:</u>

Rate = \frac{1}{t} \;work/hr

<u>Combined rate:</u>

Rate = \frac{1}{4} \;work/hr

Adding the individual rates, we have:

\frac{1}{10} +\frac{1}{12} +\frac{1}{t} =\frac{1}{4} \\&#10;\\&#10;

Multiplying all through by 120t, we have:

12t+10t+120=30t\\&#10;\\&#10;22t+120=30t\\&#10;\\&#10;120=30t-22t\\&#10;\\&#10;120=8t\\&#10;\\&#10;t=\frac{120}{8}

t = 15 hours.

Answer:

a. about 15.51 miles, rounded to 15.5 miles

b. about 31.02 miles, rounded to 31 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Sunday Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday Saturday

 10           20           40          80             160       320        640

 1280      2560        5120      10240       20480   40960    81920

81920/5280 = 15.51515151, rounded to the nearest tenth of a mile, 15.5 miles

Question b asks for how many miles in total has he ran. That means we have to add each of the values shown above and that equals to 163830 feet.

Divide that by 5280 and that equals 31.02 miles, rounded to the nearest tenth, 31 miles.
