What if a fence painting competition allowed pairs to compete? If Ben Rogers can paint the fence in 8 min on his own and Johnny Miller can paint it in 6 min, then how long would it take them working together? If Ben can paint a single coat of the fence in 8 min, then how much of the fence could Ben paint in 1 min?

If Johnny can paint a single coat of the fence in 6 min, then how much of the fence could Johnny paint in 1 min?

If Ben and Johnny work together to paint a single coat of the fence, then let t represent the amount of time they each spend painting. What operation should be used to set up an equation that represents how long they would take to paint a single coat of the fence?

Solve the equation for t. How long will it take Ben and Johnny to paint the fence? Round your answer to the nearest tenth of a minute.

I'm confused on what it's asking

Step-by-step explanation:

answer: c, the green line

step-by-step explanation:

there is no black line, eliminate b.

simple interest implies periodic payments, but the red line shows no payments, eliminate d.

simple interest has equal payments. if paid say every day, the graph is about a straight line (actually a stairstep).

the yellow line is not straight, eliminate a.

check: the green line is straight, answer is c.

simple interest with positive interest rate gives a straight line sloping up to the right. green line:

g(t) = $100 + ($200-$100) ÷ (20 years) × (t years)

= $100 + (4%/year) × ($100)(t years)

incidentally, the yellow line curving upward represents continuously compounded interest

y = $100 × 2^(t years / (14 assuming the yellow line hits $200 at 14 years. 2^0 is 1, so y(0) = $100; 2^(14/14) is 2, so y(14) = $200.

$4034.40

the perimeter of the field is the sum of the lengths of the four sides:

47 yd + 158 yd + 47 yd + 158 yd = 410 yd

the cost of 3 ft (1 yd) of fence is 3×$3.28 = $9.84.

so the cost of jake's wood perimeter fance is

(410 yd) × ($9.84 /yd) = $4034.40
