- Mariana debe tomar dos pastillas; una cada 6 horas y otra cada 9 horas. Si a cierta hora toma las dos pastillas juntas, ¿después de cuantas horas volverá a tomarlas simultáneamente?

Mariana takes the two pills together after 18 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

Mariana must take two pills; one every 6 hours and another every 9 hours.

She take two pills together. Let she takes the two pills together after t hours at the time when she take initially.

To find the time to take the two pills together, take the least common multiple of 6 and 9.

6 = 2 x 3

9 = 3 x 3

So, the least common multiple is 2 x 3 x 3 = 18

So, she takes the two pills together after 18 hours.

step-by-step explanation: given equation a = h(b 1+b 2)

also we are given values of a, h and b 1 as :

a = 16, h = 4, and b 1 = 3.

in order to solve it for b 2, we need to plug the given values of   a, h and b 1 .

therefore, plugging values of   a, h and b 1   in given equation, we get

16 = 4( 3 + b 2)

first dividing both sides by 4, we get

4 = 3 + b 2

subtracting 3 from both sides, we get

4 -3 = 3 -3 + b 2

1 = b 2.
