Working together, decorating 16 dozens of cookies will take 103 minutes.

Let's calculate theor individual work rate :

Rate = 1/ time

Felix's rate = 1/90

Oscar's rate = 1/120

Combined rate = 1/90 + 1/120 = (4 + 3) / 360 = 7/360

Time taken for both of the to decorate 8 dozens :

Reciprocal of their combined rate = 1 ÷ (7/360) = 51.428571 minutes

Hence, the time taken to decorate 16 dozens will be :

(16/8) × 51.428571 = 102.857 = 103 minutes (nearest while number).

Derick solves the problem below.

Gala2k [10]

As it is proved that the equation has no solution, Derick is correct

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$-3(4n + 2) = -4n + -2 (4n - 6)$

We have to solve the equation in order to check if Derick was solved the equation correctly or not.

So,

Applying distributive property first

$-12n -6 = -4n -8n +12\\-12n-6 = -12n+12\\-12n+12n-6 = 12\\-6 = 12$

As the variable is already cancelled in the equation there is no unique solution.

In order for an equation to have infinite solutions the constant on both sides of equation should be same which is not the case in the given equation

So,

As it is proved that the equation has no solution, Derick is correct
