Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
The scale factor described denotes a reduction operation. The missing dimension is given by simple rule of three:


Let us say that the procedure of completely filling up the
pool with water is called “1 job”. Therefore the rates of the equipment in
doing the job would be:
<span>Rate of handheld hose = 1 job / 8 minutes ---> 1</span>
<span>Rate of lawn sprinkler = r --->
2</span>
<span>Rate of the two combines = 1 job/ 5 minutes ---> 3</span>
So we are to find the equation to use, in this case, we
simply have to add equations 1 and 2 to get 3:
1 / 8 + r = 1 / 5
Multiplying both sides by 5:
<span>(5 / 8) + 5 r = 1 --->
ANSWER</span>
Assume r= t not sure if you mistyped this.
t = 15 min
T(t) = 68 (0.5)^(15/10) = 24 Celsius
31 = (0.5)^(t/10) take ln
ln31 = (t/10) ln (0.5) + ln68
t = (ln32 - ln 68/ln0.5) * 10 = 11.3 min
