Question 1034285: John, Rick, and Molli paint a room together.
a.Pick a reasonable amount of time that the three can paint the room together.Also pick a reasonable amount of time that John can paint it alone and a reasonable amount of time that Rick can paint it alone.
my answer:John, Rick, and Molli paint a room together in a little over 2 hours.
John can paint it alone in eight hours and Rick can paint it alone in 6 hours.
a.What is the hourly rate for John, Rick, and Molli (when working together)?
my answer:r=rate of one painter 3(r x 2)=1?
b.What is the hourly rate for John? What is the hourly rate for Rick? Refer back to the amount of time that you determined John and Rick can paint the room alone. Use rooms/hour as the units for your rates.
my answer: The hourly rate for John=1/8, Rick=1/6
*( This is where I get confused!)Write an equation comparing the group rate to the sum of the individual rates. How should the group rate and the sum of the individual parts compare?

Sorry,
it is not a Math problem.
It is your fantasy.
Absolutely inappropriate for this site.
I am working as a cleaner in this case.
