If 3 workers can paint a room in 2 hours, then approximately how long does it take 4 workers to paint the same room? assume the time needed to paint the room is inversely proportional to the number of workers.

It takes 1.5 hours for 4 workers to paint the same room

Solution:

Given that 3 workers can paint a room in 2 hours

To find: Time taken for 4 workers to paint the same room

Assume the time needed to paint the room is inversely proportional to the number of worker

Where, "k" is the constant of proportionality

3 workers can paint a room in 2 hours

Substitute number of workers = 3 and time = 2 hours

Therefore,

To find time taken for 4 workers to paint the same room, substitute number of workers = 4 in above expression

Thus it takes 1.5 hours for 4 workers to paint the same room

b) well because you get well

see explanation

step-by-step explanation:

a

(6r + 7) + (13 + 7r) ( remove brackets and collect like terms )

= 6r + 7 + 13 + 7r

= 13r + 20

b

remove brackets and collect like terms

13 - r - 1 + r

= 12 - r

c

remove brackets and collect like terms

= - 8 - r + 2r - 4

= - 12 + r

d

remove brackets and collect like terms

= 7r - - - 6r

[-   - = - - = - ]

= r -
