A newly employed worker takes 15 minutes to complete the first task while she takes 12.75 minutes to complete the second task. How long the worker would take to complete the tenth task?
Homework Answers
For the first task, time required = 15 minutes
Time required for the second task = 12.75 minutes.
Since the time taken to do a task is always positive and it reduces by each additional task undertaken, we assume that the time taken by the new employed worker reduces geometrically with each additional task undertaken, we calculate the value of 'r', the amount by which the reduction takes place.
where t stands for the number of task undertaken, t = 1, 2, 3, 4, .....
Thus, for the tenth task, the worker takes 3.4742 minutes.

A Girl Scout is taking a 12.00-km hike to earn a merit badge. While on the hike, she sees a cliff some distance away. She wishes to estimate the time required to walk to the cliff. She knows that the speed of sound is approximately 343 meters per second. She yells and finds that the echo returns after approximately 2.4 seconds. If she can hike 1.00 km in 6.7 minutes, how long would it take her to reach the cliff?...
