B=0.028

1) Firstly, We need to convert 3 hours and 15 min into decimal. So, we can write out the following:


\begin{gathered} 3+(15)/(60) \\ 3(1)/(4)=3.25 \end{gathered}

2) As our second step, we can plug into the formula the number we just found:


\begin{gathered} B=0.08-0.016N \\ B=0.08-0.016(3.25)\Rightarrow B=0.08-0.052 \\ B=0.028 \end{gathered}

So Daniel's BAC after 3 hours and 15 minutes drinking is
