Working together, larry, moe, and curly can paint an elephant in 3 minutes. working alone it would take larry 10 minutes or moe 6 minutes. how long will it take for curly to paint the elephant alone

I'm only answering this one because I like the Three Stooges.

What's important in these questions is the rates, work per unit time, add up when we have multiple people.

Let c be Curly's rate in elephants per minute. Larry's rate is 1/10 elephants per minutes and Moe's is 1/6 elephants per minute. For the three of them to get done in three minutes means their collective rate is 1/3 elephants per minute:

Curly's rate is 1/15 th of an element per minute, so it would take him 15 minutes to paint an elephant.

$33

Step-by-step explanation:

The price at the end of the week is $33.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that on Monday the price of a company’s stock is $30 per share. On Tuesday, the stock price drops $3, on Wednesday it rises $7, on Thursday it rises $3, and on Friday it drops $4.

The price of a company’s stock on Monday = $30 per share

So, the mathematical statement that represents the situation is given by;

Price of company’s stock on Monday = $30

On Tuesday, the stock price drops $3, so the price of company’s stock on Tuesday = Price of company’s stock on Monday - Drop in price on Tuesday

             = $30 - $3 = $27

On Wednesday, the stock price rises $7, so the price of company’s stock on Wednesday = Price of company’s stock on Tuesday + Rise in price on Wednesday

             = $27 + $7 = $34

On Thursday, the stock price rises $3, so the price of company’s stock on Thursday = Price of company’s stock on Wednesday + Rise in price on Thursday

             = $34 + $3 = $37

On Friday, the stock price drops $4, so the price of company’s stock on Friday = Price of company’s stock on Thursday - Drop in price on Friday

             = $37 - $4 = $33

Hence, the price at the end of the week is $33.
