Apaint crew gets a rush order to paint 80 houses in a new development. they paint the first y houses at a rate of x houses per week. realizing that they'll be late at this rate, they bring in some more painters and paint the rest of the houses at the rate of 1.25x houses per week. the total time it takes them to paint all the houses under this scenario is what fraction of the time it would have taken if they had painted all the houses at their original rate of x houses per week? (a) 0.8(80 – y)(b) 0.8 + 0.0025y(c) 80/y – 1.25(d) 80/1.25y(e) 80 – 0.25y

(B) 0.8+0.0025y

Step-by-step explanation:

Total houses =80

First y houses was painted at the rate of x hours per week

Remaining houses was painted at 1.25x hours per week

Remaining houses= 80-y

Rate = quantity/ time

Time = quantity/ rate

Time for the first painting = y/x

Time for the second painting = 80-y/1.25x

Total time y/x + 80-y/1.25x

= 0.25y +80/1.25x

If it was being painted at the original rate

Time = 80/x

The time to paint in this scenario as a fraction of the time it will take to paint in the original rate.

(0.25y+80/1.25x) /(x/80)

=( 0.25y +80)/100

=0.0025y +0.8

the number of possible outcomes that do not show a 1 on the first spinner and show the number 4 on the second spinner is 2.

only 2 outcomes have passed the given condition.

step-by-step explanation:

d. $180

step-by-step explanation:

if the dimensions of the room is 9ft by 12 ft, we have the area of the floor as,

so the area of the floor is 108 square feet, converting that into square yards we get,

the cost of carpet is $15 per square yard, therefore the cost of carpet for 12 square yards is,

hence, the cost of carpet is $180.

assuming the dimensions of the room be,

15 ft by 12 ft

so, the area of the floor of that room is,

we can convert 180 square feet into square yards, we know that,

1 sq ft = 0.111 sq yard

so, 180 square feet is,

so the area of floor is 20 square yards.

now, the cost of carpet is 15 dollars per square yard, therefore the cost of carpet for 20 square yards is,

so, it will cost $300.
