Another Great Question haha

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok so Irina can paint a room in 9 hours and paula can paint the same room in 8 hours, write an equation that represents how many hours itll take for them to paint the same room together

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i think.. 1/9+1/8=1/x..=3.73

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I think thats right, i just need another opinion..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

options. x/9+x/8; 2.18 hours 1/9+1/8=1/x; 3.73 hours..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

9/x+8/x=1;8.5 hours x/9+x/8=1; 4.24 hours

|dw:1432621280668:dw| ehh

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you dont know it haha?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Cute btw hahaha

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

haha so no one knows. i think its B but i would like a second thought

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Anyone:( ?

Nnesha (nnesha):

wait..

Nnesha (nnesha):

welll hmm i think if Irina paints a room in 9 hours and puala in 8 hours if both paint same room together then it would take half of 9+8

Nnesha (nnesha):

9+8 =17/2

Nnesha (nnesha):

you know what just solve each equation you will get the answer :-)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Was i right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ehhh

Nnesha (nnesha):

\(\color{blue}{\text{Originally Posted by}}\) @Cman456 i think.. 1/9+1/8=1/x..=3.73 \(\color{blue}{\text{End of Quote}}\) equation is 1/9 + 1/8 = 1 ; 3.73 solve 1/9 +1/8 =1/x is it equal to 3.73 ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ehh!! it gives me a fraction..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No it doesnt add up to that:/

Nnesha (nnesha):

use gO_OGle calculator not da mathway.com

Nnesha (nnesha):

:D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Hehe ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wait.. but i still get the same.. hmm

OpenStudy (kropot72):

the solution is 4.235 hours.

Nnesha (nnesha):

now solve 2nd option 9/x+8/x=1;8.5 hours 9/x + 8/x =1 is it equal to 8.5 ??

Nnesha (nnesha):

and then last one x/9+x/8=1; 4.24 hours x/9 + x/8 =1 is it equal to 4.24 ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The last one..

Nnesha (nnesha):

yes right so it's kinda backwars :D

Nnesha (nnesha):

wars -.- d*

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hahah

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thank you :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

again. for the like 9th time..

Nnesha (nnesha):

np ;-) sometimes gO_Od to do opposite way to solve a problem :D

Nnesha (nnesha):

my pleasure :-)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\frac{1}{9}+\frac{1}{8}=\frac{1}{x} \]\[x=\frac{72}{17}=4.23529 \text{ hrs} \]
