Answer: Approximately 4 hours and 27 minutes.

Explanation: Let Officer Kay's hours be represented by 1/8

and Officer Ming's hours be represented by 1/10.

That means that Officer Kay completes 1/8 of the job in 1 hour and Officer Ming completes 1/10 of the job in 1 hour.

If they work together,

It would be 1/8 + 1/10 =

Finding the LCM of the denominator, which is 80,

Addition of 1/8 and 1/10 is 9/40.

Let T be the amount of time it takes the two of them to finish the job,

then 9/40 of the job x T (expressed in hours) has to equal 1 job.

So, (9/40) x T = 1,

therefore T = 40/9 = 4.444 or 4 and 4/9.

Converting 4.444 to hours and minutes, we have 4 hours 27 minutes.

This means it would take 4 and 4/9 hours (about 4 hours and 27 minutes) for Officers Kay and Ming to complete the task together.

If Jacob thinks there is overwhelming evidence for the existence of God, especially in light of what he thinks is the apparent d
slega [8]

Answer:

Jhon has a paradox, in other words, the question is raised as to whether God exists because there is so much evil and suffering?

Explanation:

With this argument he attacks the faith of Jacob who defends the existence of God by the order so wonderful that there is in the universe, and it is that to tell the truth, we can see the relationship of the order with the clean, the good, the organized, the point here is that although God's creation is perfect, intelligent beings with the ability to reason and think that God has created have freedom of determination to make decisions, something they have not known how to do well, since the ambition for power and wealth they lead him to act badly, then we could say that although God is the creator, he is not the originator of the evil that exists in the world.
