Amy worked for 128 hours while Brayden worked for 112 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Let A represents Amy and B represents Brayden

A = 16 + B ------(1)

A:B = 8:7------- (2)

Required

Find A and B;

Convert (2) to fractions

Cross Multiply

Substitute A = 16 + B in the above expression

Open Bracket

Subtract 7B from both sides

Recall that A = 16 + B

Hence,

This implies that Amy worked for 128 hours while Brayden worked for 112 hours
