To collect data on the signal strengths in a neighborhood, Briana must drive from house to house and take readings. She has a graduate student, Henry, to assist her. Briana figures it would take her 12 hours to complete the task working alone, and that it would take Henry 18 hours if he completed the task by himself. How long will it take Briana and Henry to complete the task together?

Both take time together = 36 / 5 hours = 7.2 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Briana take time = 12 hour

Henry take time = 18 hour

Find:

Both take time together

Computation:

Briana 1 hour work = 1/12

Henry 1 hour work = 1/18

Both take time together = 1/[1/12+1/18]

Both take time together = 1/[5/36]

Both take time together = 36 / 5 hours = 7.2 hours

step-by-step explanation:

since the sequence is geometric there is a common ratio r between consecutive terms, that is

r = 4 ÷ - 2 = - 2

r = - 8 ÷ 4 = - 2

r = 16 ÷ 8 = - 2

the next term - 13 must be incorrect as it should be - 32 for the sequence to be geometric.

the first 4 terms are therefore geometric with common ratio r = - 2

13

step-by-step explanation:

divide the cost of the total of sodas you bought by the cost of one soda, for example:

$24.57 divided by $1.89 is 13 which means you bought 13 sodas
