Leo and Maggie volunteer at the local bird sanctuary. Volunteers carry walkie-talkies. Leo notices that his walkie-talkie’s battery charge is only at 20%. When fully charged, the batteries last 12 hours. Leo thinks the walkie-talkie will last for his entire 3-hour shift.

Respuesta :

Answer: it is  2.4 hours and it will not last

The battery won't last for entire 3-hour shift but only for 2.4 hours

Given that:

Battery lasts 12 hours when fully charged.

Currently battery is 20% charged.

The shift time of Leo is of 3 hours.

The time remaining for battery is calculated as:

[tex]\begin{aligned} \text{Time remainining} &= \dfrac{20 \times 12 }{100} hours\\\\&= 2.4 \:\rm hours\end{aligned}[/tex]

Thus, in total, the battery will last only for 2.4 hours and not for the entire 3-hour shift of Leo.
