Answer:
Given the expression:
The distributive property says that:
Applying distributive property on the given expression, we have;
again apply the same property we have
or
Like terms are those terms which have same variables to the same power.
Combine like terms;
Therefore, the simplified form of the given expression is,
The amount of energy waste, in terms of hours which a 60-watt light bulb would remain on, is 61.6 hours then the correct option is B.
<h3>What are ratio and proportion?</h3>A ratio is an ordered couple of numbers a and b, written as a/b where b can not equal 0. A proportion is an equation in which two ratios are set equal to each other.
Marco leaves the bathroom faucet running for 22 minutes while he gets ready in the morning.
Running the faucet for 5 minutes wastes the same amount of energy as leaving a 60-watt light bulb on for 14 hours.
Then we have
So, the rate is 2.8 hours per minute.
Since macro leaves the bathroom faucet running for 22 minutes. Then the waste of energy is leaving a 60-watt light bulb will be
→22 minutes × 2.8 hours/minute = 61.6 hours.
