Answer:

47/6

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Time taken to paint 3 cars = 4 hours

Time taken to paint 2 trucks = 5 hours

How long will it take him to paint 4 cars and a truck

If 3 cars = 4 hours ;

Then ;

1 car = (4/3)hours

If 2 trucks = 5 hours

Then;

1 truck = (5/2) hours = 2 1/2 hours

Time required To paint 4 cars :

4 × (4/3) = 16/3 hours

Time required to paint 1 truck :5/2 hours

Total time required :

(16/3 + 5/2) = (32 + 15) / 6 = 47/6
