Answer:

  16 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

It is assumed that time decreases inversely with the number of team members painting. Thus, when team members are increased from 8 to 18, the time correspondsingly decreases by a factor of 8/18, resulting in 4/9 of the original time.

  (4/9)(36 min) = 16 min

Hence, with 18 members, it would take 16 minutes to paint the wall..

Mel descends 50-35=15 feet in 5-2=3 seconds. Thus, her descent rate is 15/3=5 ft/sec.
Victor descends 60-50=10 feet in 4-1=3 seconds. Hence, his descent rate is 10/3=3⅓ ft/sec. Mel is faster, traveling at 5 ft/sec.

Answer: The least amount spent amounts to £12.92 Step-by-step explanation: Given Number of Cartons = 38 A carton costs 45 pence 4 cartons cost £1.56 In order to minimize expenses, one must opt for the cheaper choice. Since there are 100 pence in £1, this means that £1.36 is equivalent to x pence, where x * 1 = 1.36 * 100, leading to x = 136 pence for four cartons. To find the cost of a single carton, divide x by 4; thus, x/4 = 136p/4, resulting in x/4 = 34 pence. This indicates that a carton of juice can be purchased at 34 pence and 45 pence, with 34 pence being the better deal. Therefore, the total expenditure equals 34 * 38, which converts to 1292p and subsequently to £12.92.
