Answer:
18 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
You know that 15cm burns in 6 hours. That means that for every 15cm that burns after that, it will be another 6 hours for each.
This gives us the means to find out how long it takes for the 45 cm candle to burn.
We want to know how many 15 cm candles fit into this 45 cm candle. To do this, we must divide: 45 ÷ 15 in order to find how how many 15 cm and 6 hour-burning candles make up the 45 cm candle
45 ÷ 15 = 3, so 3 candles, each of which take 6 hours to burn, fit into the candle
Now, all we have to do is multiply 6 by 3 in order to find out how many hours it takes for 3 candles to burn!
6 • 3 = 18, so it will take 18 hours for the candle to burn
Answer:
B) 
Step-by-step explanation:

- To start things off, lets convert any <em>mixed numbers</em> like
into <em>improper fractions</em>. In this case
as an improper fraction is
.

- Now let's multiply
by
. When multiplying fractions, all you need to do is multiply the numerators and denominators separately. Your final answer should be
. - *Note: a <em>negative </em>times a <em>negative </em>is a <em>positive</em>, so that's why we now have an even number in front of
instead of a negative number.

- Now we want to isolate
, so we'll have to divide
by
, but dividing these two fractions seems like a pain. To make things a bit easier, let's turn our improper fraction into a whole number. To change this improper fraction into a whole number, we should ask ourselves what times
is equal to
? In this case, the answer is 3, so
is actually the same thing as the whole number
. - *Note: In general, keeping fractions as either improper fractions or whole numbers will make doing math easier. Avoid mixed numbers like
when trying to do math and simply change improper fractions into mixed numbers once you have your final solution.

- Now divide
by
. Think of it as multiplying the denominator of
by
.
