@Daniellelovee help please

OpenStudy (daniellelovee):

im not sure but I assume it would be to multiply the time by 8?

OpenStudy (13ziar):

i thought it would times by two because the last one do it at the same time

OpenStudy (daniellelovee):

(1 Cycle) 1-2 (2 Cycles) 2-4 (3 Cycles) 4-8 4h 18m = how many minutes?

OpenStudy (13ziar):

258

OpenStudy (daniellelovee):

good now you have to multiply for the 3 cycles

OpenStudy (daniellelovee):

and that will be your answer :)

OpenStudy (13ziar):

um is that the correct way of working it out?

OpenStudy (daniellelovee):

I think so but science is not my best one but that is what I would've done

OpenStudy (13ziar):

ok

OpenStudy (13ziar):

so what do i do with 258

OpenStudy (13ziar):

x2

OpenStudy (13ziar):

?

OpenStudy (daniellelovee):

there are 3 cycles and there are 2 cells per cycle therefore you.....

OpenStudy (13ziar):

OpenStudy (daniellelovee):

yes :)

OpenStudy (13ziar):

OpenStudy (daniellelovee):

OpenStudy (13ziar):

OpenStudy (daniellelovee):

OpenStudy (13ziar):
