The answer is 169/5:8 = 5. It helps me alot it could help you to.
Steps:
let “x” be number of hrs
let “y” be total cost
Abe:
50x + 75 = y
Plumbing Service:
65x=y
Since both equations are equal to y, you can set them equal to each other.
65x = 50x + 75
isolate for x:
65x - 50x = 75
15x = 75
x = 5
therefore it will take 5 hours for each to cost the same. you should call Abe for any task more than 5 hours because it will be cheaper and you should call the Plumbing Service for any task less than 5 hours because it will be cheaper.

Step-by-step explanation:
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
Answer:
48 sq inches
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that,
Ribbon used around a bulletin broard is 28 inches
The length of her board is 6 inches
Let B is breadth of her board. 28 inches is perimeter. The perimeter of rectangle is given by :
P = 2(L+B)
28=2(6+B)
14=6+B
B=8 inches
The area of a rectangle is given by :
A = L×B
A = 8×6
A=48 sq inches
So, the area of her board is 48 sq inches
