Let x represent time taken by 20 members to paint 9000 square foot wall.
We have been given that all members of our painting team paint at the same rate. 20 members can paint a 6000 square foot wall in 24 minutes. We are asked to find the time taken by 20 members to paint 9000 square foot wall.
We will use proportions to solve our given problem.
Therefore, it will take 36 minutes for 20 members to paint 9000 square foot wall.
The school can buy fifteen notebooks and nineteen tablets. 15X7=105 and 5X19=95. 95+105=200. The first thing you want to do is realize that 5Xanything will give you an answer that has a 0 or a five at the end, so you want to find a product by 7 that ends with a 0 or 5 too.
So 72 pencils and 24 calculators
so greates number of identical calculators
this means
what is the biggest number that we can divide 72 and 24 by and get a whole number
this is called the GCM or greatest common multipule
to find the GCM, you factor 72 and group the like ones
72=2 times 2 times 2 times 3 times 3
24=2 times 2 times 2 times 3
so the common group is 2 times 2 times 2 times 3 or 24
so the greates number of packs is 24
so pencils
72 divided by 24=72/24=3
3 pencils per pack
24 divided by 24=24/24=1
1 calulator per pack
answer is 3 pencils and 1 calculator per pack
Plug -8 in for x:
4(-8) + 5
solve:
-32 + 5
-27
