Answer:

she will be at the company for 8 years.

Explanation:

The number of days of vacation for each year = 3

Maryanne is employed up to a maximum of 24 days of vacation time.

We need to find the number of years she will be in the company before she reaches the maximum amount of vacation of time.

The number of years she will be in the company = The number of maximum days of vacation time divided by the number of days of vacation for each year

=
(24)/(3)

= 8 years

Therefore, she will be at the company for 8 years.
