It would take her 10.5 hours to drink the whole jug.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Cups of water in jug = 7

Water drunk every hour = $\frac{2}{3}$ of cup

Let,

x be the number of hours.

According to given statement;

$\frac{2}{3}x=7$

Multiplying both sides by $\frac{3}{2}$

$\frac{3}{2}*\frac{2}{3}x=7*\frac{3}{2}\\x=\frac{21}{2}\\x=10.5$

It would take her 10.5 hours to drink the whole jug.

Let $a=\tan A$ and $b=\sin A$ . Then

$m^2-n^2=(a+b)^2-(a-b)^2=(a^2+2ab+b^2)-(a^2-2ab+b^2)=4ab$

$\implies m^2-n^2=4\tan A\sin A$

and

$mn=(a+b)(a-b)=a^2-b^2$

$\implies4\sqrt{mn}=4\sqrt{\tan^2A-\sin^2A}$

The expression under the square root can be rewritten as

$\tan^2A-\sin^2A=\dfrac{\sin^2A}{\cos^2A}-\sin^2A=\sin^2A\left(\dfrac1{\cos^2A}-1\right)=\sin^2A(\sec^2A-1)$

Recall that

$\sin^2A+\cos^2A=1\implies\tan^2A+1=\sec^2A$

so that

$\tan^2A-\sin^2A=\sin^2A\tan^2A$

and assuming $\sin A>0$ and $\tan A>0$ , we end up with

$4\sqrt{\tan^2A-\sin^2A}=4\tan A\sin A$

so that

$m^2-n^2=4\sqrt{mn}$

as required.

I don't know what you mean by "Broken apart," but I'll do my best...

20 x 90 = 1800

9 x 7 = 63

1800 + 63 = 1863
