Melissa has 14 reports to file, if each report takes an average of 1 hour and 15 mins, how long would it take to file 70% of them?

12 hours 15 min

Step-by-step explanation:

Melissa has 14 reports to file.

She file 70% of report. She takes average of 1 hour and 15 minutes for each report.

First we find number of reported by Melissa.

Number of reported = 70% of 14

                                        = 9.8

1 hour 15 min hours

For 1 report of file hours

For 9.8 reports of file hours

She will take 12.25 hours to report 70% of them.

12.25 hours = 12 hours 15 min

Hence, Melissa will take 12 hours 15 min to file 70% of report.

b. 6

step-by-step explanation:

we are given the table representing an exponential function.

we can see from the table that, as x is increasing, the value of y is increasing in the power of 6.

i.e. the following relation is obtained,

x = 1, y = 6

x = 2, y = 36 =

x = 3, y = 216 =

x = 4, y = 1296 =

x = 5, y = 7776 =

so, the geometric series obtained is .

thus, the common ratio is given by = = 6.

hence, the common ratio is 6.

actually what is a question i don't understand
