Answer:

8 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

In 2 hours, the clerical secretary can do 1/4 of the job. (The executive secretary does 3/4 of the job - or 3 times as much - in the same 2 hours.)

Since it takes the clerical secretary 2 hours to do 1/4 of the job, it will take them four times that to do it themselves. 2x4=8.

\text{Consider the given table for the function }f(x).\\
\\
\text{we know that for any function f(x), the value of the function at}\\
\text{any point x=a is given by the expression }f(a).\\
\\
\text{so in order to find the value of the f(8), we look for the value of}\\
\text{the function at x=8.}\\
\\
\text{from the given table, we can see that at x=8, the function value is 52}\\
\\
\text{hence the value of function at x=8 is given by, }f(8)=52.

From the table, we can see that  f(8) = 52

Find three equivalent fractions for 2/3 by multiplying by 3/3, 5/5 and 6/6. What property of multiplication do we use to find eq
RideAnS [48]
<h3><em>The property of multiplication used to find equivalent fractions is called the multiplicative identity. It says that when a number is multiplied by 1, it remains same. When finding equivalent fractions, the numerator and denominator of a fraction is multiplied by the same number. In other words, the fraction is multiplied by 1, hence it remains the same.</em></h3>
