well, a WHOLE is 1, in this case is 8/8, that'd be a whole.
so Billy does 1/8 in 15 minutes, well, there are 8/8, so do the whole recipe that'd be 8 * 15 minutes, or 120 minutes, or 2 hours.
or you can see it this way, 1/8 is 15 minutes, since there are eight 1/8's, then it'd take 15+15+15+15+15+15+15+15 minutes.
The best way to answer this is to find counterarguments for each answer to eliminate them as a possibility. ab doesn't have to be an integer, 2.5*3=7.5 . That's also not an imaginary number so that's out. And that's also not an irrational number so that's out too. Only choice left is rational number.
Formula:
a^2+b^2=c^2
c^2: Is the hypotenuse.
For a^2 and b^2, you have to multiply both it by its self.
Then, add both.
Next, you square root it.
Example:
a^2+b^2=c^2
14^2+7^2=c^2
196+49=c^2
245=c^2
15.64=c^2
