Answer:

3.7 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Pat could do the job alone in 8 hours.

Patti could do the job alone in 7 hours

Output = Rate * time

Let the rate at which pat does the work = Rp

Let the rate at which Patti does the work = Rt

Let X be the total output

Rp * 8 = X

Rp = X/8

Rt * 7 = X

Rt = X/7

If both pat and Patti pick apples, we have

(Rp+Rt)T = X

(X/8 + X/7)T = X

[(7X + 8X)/56]T = X

[X(7+8)/56]T = X

Divide both sides by X

[(7+8)/56]T = 1

(15/56)T = 1

T = 56/15

T = 3.7 hours

KIM [24]
Figure this out as though no digits are present. You can choose 8 of the 26 letters and that's it.
26^8 [you can allow repeating letters]  =  2.088 * 10^11
The total number of ways that can be chosen with letters and digits intermixed = 36^8

The probability of getting no numbers is 26^8 / 36^8 or (26/36)^8 = 0.07402
So the probability that there were be at least one digit is
1 - 0.07402 = 0.92598

Step-by-step explanation:

(8 {x}^{2}  - 5x + 1) - (3 {x}^{2}  - x + 4) \\  = 8 {x}^{2}  - 5x + 1 -  3{x}^{2}  + x - 4 \\  = 5 {x}^{2}  - 4x - 3
