Answer:

8.47 Hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Allen can take 16 hours, while 

Brianne can take 18 hours;

Therefore, in 1 hour Allen will complete a fraction of 1/16, while

in 1 hour Brianne will complete a fraction of 1/18

When working together, in 1 hour they will complete a fraction of (1/18+1/16)

=  17/144,

Therefore; to complete the whole project working together, they will take;

144/17 = 8.47 hours

An element with mass 800 grams decays by 8.2% per day. How much of the element is remaining after 15 days,
Serjik [45]

Given:

The initial mass of an element is 800 grams.

Decay rate = 8.2% per day

Number of days = 15

To find:

The remaining element after 15 days.

Solution:

The exponential decay model is

y=a(1-r)^t

Where, a is the initial value r is the rate of interest and t is time period.

Putting a=800,r=0.082,t=15 in the above formula, we get

y=800(1-0.082)^{15}

y=800(0.918)^{15}

y=221.68188

y\approx 221.7

Therefore, the mass of the remaining element is 221.7 grams.

mylen [45]
Since a total of 55 people rated it good/very good, we know that 1/3 of the viewers are 55 people. So we can set the equation: 1/3x=55

Now, just multiply both sides by 3 (or divide by 1/3, same thing) and get your answer!
