Question

Sally can paint a room in 9 hours while it takes Steve 6 hours to paint the same room. How long would it take them to paint the room if they worked​ together?

Answer 1

Answer:

3.6

Step-by-step explanation:

1/9+1/6

1/3^2+1/2x3=1/x

2+3/3^2x2=1/x

5/3^2x2=1/x

x.5=18

5x=18

5x/5= 18/5

x=18/5

x=3.6

Answer 2

To find time if they work together.

What is arithmetic?

science that deals with the addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division of numbers and properties and manipulation of numbers.An arithmetic sequence is a sequence where the difference between each successive pair of terms is the same. The explicit rule to write the formula for any arithmetic sequence is this:

an = a1 + d (n - 1).

Given that:

(1 room/Sally's time) + (1 room/Steve's time) = (1 room)/(time working together)

1/9+1/6+=+1/x

Multiply both sides by 54x

6x+9x=54

15x=54

x=3.6hours

Working together, they can paint the room in 3 hours 6 min.

So, to paint the room if they worked​ together in 3 hours 6 min.
