Answer 18

You're welcome!

Answer 19

I say c. 5 cause if you find the average of both wade and rhonda and add them together I got 5.

Answer 20

wade's average was one wall per hour and rhonda's was one wal per 1.5 combine their averages and divide by two and you get 1.25. this means that together they can finish one wall in one hour and 25min. so multiply 1.25 x 4 = 5. thus proving my answer!
