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.

The graph of a logarithmic function is shown below
LenaWriter [7]
This represents the function : y = log₆ (x).
Proof:
Rewrite this logarithmic function into an exponential form:

 y = log₆ (x)  ↔ x = 6^y

On the graph we see 2 major points A(1,0) and B(6,1). Plug them in x=6^y
1 = 6⁰ = 1 (true)

6 = 6¹ True, then this confirm that the graph equation is  y = log₆ (x)
