Linda and Angela contract to paint a neighbor's house. Even though Linda spends 80% more time painting the house than Angela, each receives a payment of m dollars when the work is completed. If Angela decides to pay Linda n dollars so that they would have received the same compensation per hour worked, what is n in terms of m ?
Choose the correct choice from the following answers.
A) 1/2 m	B) 1/3 m	C) 1/4 m	D) 1/5 m	E) 1/6 m
After the final transaction:   Angela received $(m-n) for t hours;   Linda received $(m+n) for 1.5t hours;   We are told that after that transaction they received the same compensation per hour: (m-n)/t=(m+n)/1.5t --&gt; 1.5m-1.5n=m+n --&gt;m=5n --&gt; n=m/2.   1/2 mnswer: 1/2 m.
