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).

Two of the exterior angles of a triangle are $158^\circ$ and $99^\circ.$ Find the third exterior angle, in degrees.

Lisa [10]

Answer:

The third exterior angle is $103^o$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$\theta = 158^o$

$\alpha = 99^o$

Required

The third exterior angle $(\beta)$

The exterior angles of a triangle add up to 360 degrees.

So:

$\theta + \alpha + \beta = 360^o$

Make $\beta$ the subject

$\beta = 360^o - (\theta + \alpha)$

Substitute known values

$\beta = 360^o - (158^o + 99^o)$

$\beta = 103^o$
