It takes 54 minutes for 4 people to paint 6 walls. how many minutes does it take 6 people to paint 7 walls?

It will take 42 minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to solve this we first have to calulate how long will it take one person to paint one wall:

54/6=9minutes

That is between 4 people it will take 9 minutes to paint a wall, one person alone supposing they all work at the same rate will take 36 minutes.

Now we just multiply that by the number of walls to be painted:

36*7=252

And we divide that by the number of people painting:

252/6=42

So it will take 42 minutes to paint 7 walls with 6 people painting.

2.   2 3/5.

3.   2 1/2.

step-by-step explanation:

6 - 3 2/5

= 6 -   17/5

= 30/5 - 17/5

= 13/5

= 2 3/5 (answer).

5 1/4 - 2 3/4

= 21/4 - 11/4

= 10/4

= 2 1/2 (answer).

the entire expression should be subtracted from 30. to subtract the quantity, distribute the negative sign, which changes the signs on the terms. so, the –2 changes to positive and gets added to 30 instead of subtracted from it.

hope this ! ^w^
