Answer 1

Answer:

2.26 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Stock 1:

Initial price = 13.17

Rate of increase = $0.11 per hour

13.17 + 0.11h - - - (1)

Stock 2 :

Initial price = 13.69

Rate of decrease = 0.12 per hour

13.69 - 0.12h - - (2)

13.17 + 0.11h = 13.69 - 0.12h

0.11h + 0.12h = 13.69 - 13.17

0.23h = 0.52

h = 0.52 / 0.13

h = 2.26 hours
