Rick and Debbie are painting a large barn. Debbie paints twice as fast as Rick. They work together for 16 hours and complete the job. Determine how fast Debbie and Rick can paint the entire barn separately.

Step-by-step explanation:

Rick and Debbie are painting a large barn. Debbie paints twice as fast as Rick. They work together for 16 hours and complete the job. Determine how fast Debbie and Rick can paint the entire barn separately.

= 1/a + 1/2a = 1/16

= 2a + a/2a² = 1/16

2a/2a² = 1/16

= 1/a = 1/16

step-by-step explanation :

we know that

the measurement of the outer angle is the semi-difference of the arcs which comprises

in this problem

m< xzy is the outer angle

substitute the values

the measure of angle xoy is equal to

> by central angle

substitute the value
