## Challenge:

Amanda and Dani can paint a room together in 6 hours. If Amanda can paint the room by herself in 8 hours, what percent of the painting does Dani do?

$11.99 Satisfied 123 Students The correct answer is 25%. Amanda can paint the room by herself in 8 hours. Therefore, she can paint $$\frac{1}{8}$$ of the room in an hour. In the same way, Dani can paint $$\frac{1}{x}$$ of the room in an hour. Together, they can paint $$\frac{1}{6}$$ part of the room in an hour. Now, write the equation and solve for x. $$\frac{1}{8}+\frac{1}{x}=\frac{1}{6}⇒\frac{1}{6}-\frac{1}{8}=\frac{1}{24}⇒x=24$$ Dani can paint the room in 24 hours. Then, in six hours, Dani paints $$\frac{6}{24}$$ or $$\frac{1}{4}$$ part or 25% of the room. ## Related to This Article ### More math articles ### What people say about "Ratio, Proportion and Percentages Puzzle -Critical Thinking 10"?
