Answer:

4 1/2 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

first i subtracted 1.3 from 4 and got 2.7

Next i just multiplied 0.6 by random numbers ubtil i got something close to 2.7

i ended up with 2.4 when I multiplied 0.6 by 4

it still is .3 short

since it takes an hour for the candle to burn, then if you cut it in half, that means 30 minutes

therfore, 4.5 hours

Hey guys can you answer this one question real quick
Umnica [9.8K]

Answer:

a. 1/5

b. (3, 3/5)

c. 1/5x = y

Step-by-step explanation:

Remember: (x, y)

0.5 = 1/2

(1/2, 1/10) = 1/10 ÷ 1/2 = 1/10 • 2 = 1/5, you can divide y/x = constant of proportionality. 1/10 ÷ 1/2.

1 2/5 = 7/5

(7, 7/5) = 7/5 ÷ 7 = 7/5 • 1/7 = 1/5, y/x = constant of proportionality. 7/5 ÷ 7.

  • a. 1/5 is the constant of proportionality
  • b. (3, 3/5) because 3/5 ÷ 3 or 3/5 • 1/3 = 1/5.
  • c. 1/5x = y

\displaystyle\\
15(2a - 2) = 5(a^2 -1) \\  \\ 
30a - 30 = 5a^2-5\\\\
-5a^2 + 30a -30 + 5 =0\\\\
-5a^2 + 30a -25 =0 ~~~~~\Big| \times (-1) \\\\
5a^2 - 30a +25 = 0~~~~~\Big| : 5 \\\\
a^2 - 6a +5 = 0 \\  \\ 
a_{12}= \frac{-b\pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}= \frac{6\pm \sqrt{36-20}}{2}= \frac{6\pm \sqrt{16}}{2}=\frac{6\pm 4}{2}= \boxed{3\pm 2} \\  \\ 
a_1 = 3+ 2 = \boxed{5}\\\\
a_2 = 3-2 = \boxed{1}
