A6-foot-wide hallway is painted as shown, using equal amounts of white and black paint. a. how long is the hallway? b. can this same hallway be painted with the same pattern, but using twice as much black paint as white paint? explain.

we know that

The hallway is painted using equal amounts of white and black paint

so

To know the amount of white paint------> calculate the area of white paint

To know the amount of black paint------> calculate the area of black paint

equate the areas

Find the length of the hallway

therefore

the answer part a) is

The hallway is long

Part b) Can this same hallway be painted with the same pattern, but using twice as much black paint as white paint?

we know that

the amount of white paint is

if the black paint is twice that the white paint

then

amount of black paint is

amount of black paint with the same pattern is

equate

(24+24x)\ ft^{2}=(60x)\ ft^{2}

solve for the new value of x

Find the new length of the hallway

therefore

the answer is

Yes, the same hallway can be painted with the same pattern, using twice as much black paint as white paint, but the hallway decreases in length

location: point 0

step-by-step explanation:

well, -8 to 10 on a number line is 18 spaces.

1/9 of 18 is 2.

so, 4/9 of 18 must be 8.

8 spaces from -8 (a) is 0.

so, 4/9 of the way from -8 to 10 is 0!

answer: d. $20
