I don't know for sure, but I think there might be an error in the way you copied your function. In all of my dealings with these types of problems, I have learned the formula to be h(t) = 15 + 10t - 16t^2. Notice the plus in front of the "10t". This is due to the fact that if he pushes off of the overhang he would have an upward force of 10 feet per second as soon as his feet left the ground. The only thing pulling him back to Earth is gravity, modeled by the "-16t^2". This is derived from a bit of slightly advanced physics involving the gravitational constant, but let's work under my formula for a second...
Either way, we will wind up using the Quadratic Formula (or possibly factoring if the numbers are easy enough to work with). So let's start.
h(t)= 15 +10t - 16t^2
In order to use the QF or factoring I will need to make h(t)=0. Simply done by:
0= 15 +10t -16t^2
Looking at the numbers, I'd prefer to use the QF so here it is:
I know that my answer will need to be positive since you can't have a negative value when dealing with time, so I will eliminate the positive sign from the "+or-" part leaving me with:
And I know that a= -16, b= 10, and c=15. So all that's left to do is substitute and solve.
There's a decent amount of math that would be difficult and sloppy for me to do over the computer, but all you need to do is solve the rest of the equation and you would get your answer.
Exact answer:
or rounded answer: ≈1.31 seconds.
Hope this helps!

The picture of the calendar is shown in the attached image.
Now, first we will get the volume of the calendar itself, we can note the calendar has the shape of a triangular prism.
Volume of triangular prism = area of base * depth
The area of base = area of triangle = 1/2 * base * depth
Therefore:
Volume of prism = 1/2 * base * height * depth
where:
base = 4 in
height is he height of the base = 6 in
depth is the depth of the calendar = 8 in
Therefore:
Volume of calendar = 1/2 * 4 * 6 * 8 = 96 in^3
Now, we are given that the volume of each candy is 2 in^3, this means that:
number of candies to fill the calendar = volume of calendar / volume of candy
= 96/2
= 48 candies
Hope this helps :)
