Let's first break it down to the time 8 people need for one wall. That would be 10 minutes, right? If one person would have to do it in stead of 8, you'd expect him to take 80 minutes.
To paint 7 walls, he would nee 7x80 = 560 minutes. 10 people would do that 10 times faster, ie., 56 minutes.
I know puzzles like these always have a mindtrick. Did I miss anything?? ;-)
The number is 17 61/100. 61/100 can't be reduced, because 61 is a prime number.
Answer:
k = 4/5
Step-by-step explanation:
First, rewrite 5/6k as (5/6)k; this is "five sixths of the variable k."
Next, identify the LCD. It is 6. Then the given equation becomes
5k + 4 = 8
Consolidate the constant terms:
5k = 4
Solve for k: k = 4/5
I=prt
i=2000 X .04 X 7
i = 560
So you earned 560 after 7 years, plus your 2000 you started with
You can get C
Looks like 14.4 because you have to add them all together and divide by the total numbers
(20+22+10+5+15)/ 5
