It takes 4 hours for 3 members of Jo's crew to paint the walls of a square room with a side length of 12ft and a 10ft ceiling. How long would it take a crew of five to paint the walls of a square room with a side length of 25ft and a 12ft ceiling? (Assume there are no windows and they paint over doors, etc)
\n" ); document.write( "-----
\n" ); document.write( "time is directly related to area and inversely related to crew size
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "t = k*a/c
\n" ); document.write( "------
\n" ); document.write( "Solve for \"k\" using \"It takes 4 hours for 3 members of Jo's crew to paint the walls of a square room with a side length of 12ft and a 10ft ceiling\"
\n" ); document.write( "----
\n" ); document.write( "4 = k*(4*12*10)/3
\n" ); document.write( "k = 1/40
\n" ); document.write( "----
\n" ); document.write( "Equation:
\n" ); document.write( "t = a/(40c)
\n" ); document.write( "-----
\n" ); document.write( "How long would it take a crew of five to paint the walls of a square room with a side length of 25ft and a 12ft ceiling?
\n" ); document.write( "t = (4*23*12)/(40*5)
\n" ); document.write( "----
\n" ); document.write( "time = 5.52 hrs = 5hrs 31min 12sec
