Hi there! The answer is 15/8.
The general formula for the tangent is

Answer:
A (3, 1/2) B (-3/2, -7/4) C (7/5, 9/2)
Just a helpful tip for next time you need to graph something, you can look up "Graph Generator" and click on one of the first couple links and then you can put in your points. It makes it easier on the brain to be able to see and understand an accurate, and clean graph with the points on it.
John's hourly rate is 1/8 of the room per hour.
Rick's hourly rate is 1/2 of the room per hour.
Molli's hourly rate would be 3/8 of the room per hour.
It takes Molli 2 2/3 hours to paint the room alone.
Explanation
Since John paints the entire room (100%=1) in 8 hours, he would paint 1/8 of the room in 1 hour.
Since Rick paints the entire room (100%=1) in 2 hours, he would paint 1/2 of it in 2 hour.
We do not yet know Molli's rate, so we will call it x.
We know that 1/8+1/2+x = 1 hour.
We will use 8 as a common denominator:
1/8+4/8+8x/8 = 1
Adding the numerators,
(1+4+8x)/8 = 1
Multiply both sides by 8:
1+4+8x = 8
Add like terms:
5+8x = 8
Subtract 5 from both sides:
5+8x-5=8-5
8x=3
Divide both sides by 8:
8x/8 = 3/8
x = 3/8
Molli's rate is 3/8.
Since she can paint 3/8 of the room in 1 hour, we can set up the equation
3/8x = 1
Divide both sides by 3/8:
3/8x ÷ 3/8 = 1 ÷ 3/8
x = 1/1 ÷ 3/8 = 1/1 × 8/3 = 8/3
x = 2 2/3
This is the amount of time it takes Molli to paint the entire room.
