Jake, Lionel, and Wayne work as house painters for Paint Well Company. Jake can paint one room in t hours. Lionel can paint a room two hours faster than Jake can. Wayne can paint two rooms in three times the number of hours that Lionel takes to paint one room.
I need help with the following:
The Paint Well Company hires Donald as a replacement for Wayne. Donald takes twice the time taken by Lionel to paint one room. Write an expression to represent the total number of rooms that Jake, Lionel, and Donald can paint together in one hour.
Find the number of rooms per hour that Jake, Lionel, and Donald can paint working together if t is 6 hours.
Compare the rate at which Jake, Lionel, and Donald paint (part F) with the rate at which Jake, Lionel, and Wayne paint (part C). Determine whether the new rate is faster or slower and by how much.
Apply the rate you computed in part F to determine how long it would take Jake, Lionel, and Donald to paint six rooms in a house.
