Kent can paint a room in twice as fast as Luannda. Together they can paint the room in 5 hours. How long would it take Kent to paint the room alone? Write an equation to solve

Respuesta :

Answer:

for kent it would be [tex]\frac{1}{5}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation is shown below:

Let us assume Luannda be [tex]\frac{x}{1}[/tex]

And for kent be 2x

Together they take 5 hours

So

[tex]\frac{x}{1} + \frac{2x}{1} = 5\ hours\\\\3x = 5\\\\x = \frac{5}{3}[/tex]

So for kent it would be [tex]\frac{1}{5}[/tex]
