Answer: The correct option is (b) 1\dfrac{7}{8}~\textup{hours}.

Step-by-step explanation:  Given that Abigail and Bailey wash dogs to make extra money. Abigail can wash all of the dogs in 5 hours and Bailey can wash all the dogs in 3 hours.

We are to find the time taken by them if they wash the dogs together.

Abigail can wash the dogs in 5 hours.

So, in 1 hour, the fraction of the dogs Abigail can wash is given by

\dfrac{1}{5}.

Bailey can wash the dogs in 3 hours.

So, in 1 hour, the fraction of the dogs Bailey can wash is given by

\dfrac{1}{3}.

Hence, if they work together, then the fraction of the dogs that they wash in 1 hour is given by

\dfrac{1}{5}+\dfrac{1}{3}=\dfrac{3+5}{15}=\dfrac{8}{15}.

Therefore, the time taken by them to wash the dogs if they work together will be

t=\dfrac{1}{\frac{8}{15}}=\dfrac{15}{8}=1\dfrac{7}{8}~\textup{hours}.

Thus, option (b) is correct.

What is the radius of the base of the cone in the figure below?
liubo4ka [24]

Answer:  approximately 12.17 units

==========================================================

Work Shown:

We'll use the tangent ratio to find r

tan(angle) = opposite/adjacent

tan(49) = 14/r

r*tan(49) = 14

r = 14/tan(49)

r = 12.1700143294271

r = 12.17

The radius is approximately 12.17 units long.
