Answer:

7 hours 30min

Step-by-step explanation:

Step one :

Given data

We are told that Erica can paint 1 room in 5hours

Her work rate is 1/5 room per hour

And also with the assistance of her friend they can paint 1 room in 3 hours

Hence their combined work rate is 1/3 room per hour

Step two

The combined work expression is

1/A+1/B=1/T

Where A=Erica's work rate

B=Rachael's work rate

T=combined work

1/5+1/B=1/3

1/B=1/3-1/5

1/B=5-3/15

1/B=2/15

B=15/2

B=7.5 hours

It will take Rachel 7 hours 30min to paint the room

Please... Solve this: the bearing of a tree from a house is 295°. Find the bearing of the house from the tree.
jonny [76]

Given parameters:

Bearing of the tree from the house  = 295°

Unknown:

Bearing of the house from the tree = ?

Solution:

This is whole circle bearing problem(wcb). There are different ways of representing directions from one place to another. In whole circle bearing, the value of the bearing varies from 0° to 360° in the clockwise direction.

To find the back bearing in this regard, simple deduct the forward bearing from 360°;

    Backward bearing  = 360° -295°

                                    = 65°

The bearing from house to the tree is 65°

The two-way frequency table below shows data on student behavior and the use of positive phone calls home as an incentive for go
dusya [7]

Answer:

From the frequency table, let's calculate the row total.

Row total for phone call = 19 + 9 = 28

Row total for no phone call = 8 +6 = 14

To calculate their respective row relative frequencies, let's use:

Row relative freq = \frac{freq.}{Row total}

Now, the two-way frequency table will be computed as:

For phone call:

Desirable behavior = \frac{19}{28} = 0.67857 ≈0.69

Undesirable behaviour = \frac{9}{28} = 0.3214 ≈0.32

No phone call:

Desirable behaviour = \frac{8}{14} = 0.5714 ≈ 0.57

Undesirable behaviour = \frac{6}{14} = 0.4286 ≈ 0.43

The complete two-way table is attached.
