Question

Nayeli light a 4m² space with 12 candles. Citlali lights a 10m² space with 30 of the same type of candles. Whos space is lit brighter? Please explain how you got your answer.

Answer 1

Citlai is space brighter because you do 10^2 = 10 to the 2nd power which equals 100 x 30 = 300. If you do 4^2 = 16 x 12 = 196 which makes Citlai light brighter

Answer 2

Answer:

Both spaces have the same amount of brightness per square meter.

Step-by-step explanation:

Nayeli: 12 candles / 4 square meters is the same as 3 candles per square meter.

Citlali: 30 candles / 10 square meters is the same as 3 candles per square meter.

So both Nayeli's and Citlali's spaces have the same amount of brightness per square meter.
