Answer:
4 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
The amount remaining at the end of each hour is 0.85 of the amount at the start of the hour. You want to find the exponent such that ...
... 0.85^x = 0.5 . . . . . x = the number of hours until half is left
... x·log(0.85) = log(0.5) . . . . . take the log to turn it to a linear equation
... x = log(0.5)/log(0.85) ≈ 4.265024
Rounded to the nearest hour, x = 4.

Step-by-step explanation:
Given the expression 
To simplify the expression, we need to first collect the like terms of the functions in parentheses as shown;

Then we find the LCM of the resulting function

The final expression gives the required answer
The product of a number y and 12 or 12 times a number y. These are both equivalent expressions to 12y
