One-fourth t + one-seventh t = 1
One-fourth t times one-seventh t = 1
4 t + 7 t = 1
4 t minus 7 t = 1

What is an equation?

It is defined as the relation between two variables, if we plot the graph of the linear equation we will get a straight line.

Layna can paint a 350-square-foot room in 4 hours.It takes Bebe 7 hours to paint the same room.

Let t be the total time taken by both to paint.They are completing 1 job so the equation will be :

[tex]\dfrac{t}{4}+\dfrac{t}{7}=1[/tex]

Further solving it we get;

7 t + 4 t = 28

11t  =  28

t = 2.5 hours.

Therefore the equation can be used to find the time in hours, [tex]\dfrac{t}{4}+\dfrac{t}{7}=1[/tex] and the time will be 2.5 hours. So the correct answer is option A.
