Answer: Approximately 4 hours and 27 minutes.

Explanation: Let Officer Kay's hours be represented by 1/8

and Officer Ming's hours be represented by 1/10.

That means that Officer Kay completes 1/8 of the job in 1 hour and Officer Ming completes 1/10 of the job in 1 hour.

If they work together,

It would be 1/8 + 1/10 =

Finding the LCM of the denominator, which is 80,

Addition of 1/8 and 1/10 is 9/40.

Let T be the amount of time it takes the two of them to finish the job,

then 9/40 of the job x T (expressed in hours) has to equal 1 job.

So, (9/40) x T = 1,

therefore T = 40/9 = 4.444 or 4 and 4/9.

Converting 4.444 to hours and minutes, we have 4 hours 27 minutes.

This means it would take 4 and 4/9 hours (about 4 hours and 27 minutes) for Officers Kay and Ming to complete the task together.

Morgandi has been helping her mother cook since she was a preschooler. In cooking, she has learned to use various measuring tool
Serhud [2]

Answer:

In the ideal sense, if Morgandi can transfer the knowledge she acquired from using the measuring tools while cooking to her math class, she will be able to learn the math quicker.

She will find it much easier than Eric to understand the math lessons about fractions

Morgandi was actively learning about fractions so she was practicing fractions. For Eric, he is probably learning about fractions for the first time so it will take time and practice for him to grasp the concept. If he is learning cognitively, he will need to actively practice fractions, for example, helping their mother cook and using measuring tools.

It will be easier for her as the math class will be like her cookng experience.Her mind may process the information in a way that it relates to her cooking experience.Morgandi is said to bring more interest to the learning situation than Eric.

She already has experience with the subject so it should be easier for her to learn. However, she may have to build her procedural knowledge, such as how to divide and multiply the fractions. Eric, however, who has never used fractions will have to obtain both declarative and procedural knowledge. He will have to learn general knowledge about fractions as well as how to divide and multiply them. Because of this, Eric will most likely take longer to learn the material.

Explanation:

in the learning process, an important factor to look to is what the individual brings to new learning situations. Having a foundational knowledge on which to construct additional knowledge will give one an edge over another as in the case of Morgandi who has a back up experience of cooking than Eric
