BraiNStORm > 2



Here's the scenario....

There are two Painters...
Painter A can paint a house in 3 hours
Painter B can paint a house in 5 hours

If

Painter A & Painter B  paint the same house,
 at the same time, 
how long will it take to finish painting it?

happy brainstorming!!

2 hours i guess..
hehe..
tu pun klau painter B x menyusahkan painter A smpai kena buat keja lama2..

(3+8)/8 eh?

how did you know?..

sorry...
try again... good try
:P

the answer needs a little maths..

uisdfyt89 said...

1 7/8 hours???

Sakinah Ismail said...

owh.. math ke..
kalau ikut logik cmne??
painter a wat kje 3 jam..
painter b 5 jam..
klau cat umah yang sama(gotong-royong) pada waktu yang sama..
painter b mampu siapkan kurang dari 3 jam coz painter b pun cat gak..tempoh mereka berdua pasti kurang dari 3jam..
he3~
'secara logiknya'

Muhammad Anas bin Kamarudin said...

memang la kurang 3 jam... tapi nak jawapan yang tepat... how long...

>> uisdfyt89 <<
how did you get that answer??

emmm...
1 hour 40 minutes...
right??

Muhammad Anas bin Kamarudin said...

ok... maybe it was my fault..

i'd like an answer, and the logic behind the answer, how the answer was obtained....

i would say about two hours. in one hour painter A would have painted 1/3 of the house while painter B 1/5 of the house. so together in two hours they would have painted 16/15 of the house(we could assume the extra 1/15 as the lawn.huhu)
