Answer: 3.4 h
Explanation:
1) The basis to solve this kind of problems is that the speed of working together is equal to the sum of the individual speeds.
This is: speed of doing the project together = speed of Cody working alone + speed of Kaitlyin working alone.
2) Speed of Cody
Cody can complete the project in 8 hours => 1 project / 8 h
3) Speed of Kaitlyn
Kaitlyn can complete the project in 6 houres => 1 project / 6 h
4) Speed working together:
1 / 8 + 1 / 6 = [6 + 8] / (6*8 = 14 / 48 = 7 / 24
7/24 is the velocity or working together meaning that they can complete 7 projects in 24 hours.
Then, the time to complete the entire project is the inverse: 24 hours / 7 projects ≈ 3.4 hours / project.Meaning 3.4 hours to complete the project.

Answer: 5/9</h3>
As an approximate decimal, this is 0.5556 which converts to 55.56%
======================================================
Explanation:
Let's say there are 100 households (just for the sake of simplicity). We are told that 90% of them have answering machines. So that means 90 households have answering machines. In addition, 50 households have answering machines and call waiting. Those 50 households are part of the 90 mentioned previously.
We then select a house at random. Someone tells us (or we have some kind of prior knowledge) that whichever house is selected, they have an answering machine. We can ignore the 10 households that don't have an answering machine. Out of those 90 households, 50 have both features. So 50/90 = 5/9 is the probability of getting a household with both features.
The answer would be 1/2 or 50% if we didn't have the prior knowledge of the household having an answering machine. But with this prior knowledge, the conditions change and so does the probability.
----------------
You could also compute 0.50/0.90 to get the same answer.
B is the answer to the question
