When lit, a candle loses 5% of its original height every hour. Jennifer lit a candle with an original height of 8 inches.

Mathematics

Margarita [4]1 year ago

0.05*8 = 0.4 inches = 5% of its original height

As a result, the candle's height decreases by 0.4 inches per hour.

The height will be 7.6 in after 1 hour. It will be 7.2 in about 2 hours. It will be 6.8 after 3 hours, and so forth.

We must determine when the height will be 7 inches. This happens when the candle height has shrunk by one inch (from 8 in to 7 in). As we can see from the estimates above, this will happen between 2 and 3 hours. After 1/0.4 = 2.5 hours, the height will have decreased by 1 inch.

alA baker bought 4 gallons of icing to decorate cakes. He uses 4 1/2 cups of icing for completely Frost and decorate each cake.
kow [346]

Answer: 14 cakes

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the following data:

Number of gallons the baker has: 4 gallons \frac{16 cups}{1 gallon}=64 cups

Number of cups the baker used for one cake: 4,5 cups

Now, we can use the Rule of three  to find the maximum number of cakes the baker can completely decorate:

4.5 cups-----​1 cake

64 cups-----​?

Then:

​?=\frac{(64 cups)(1 cake)}{4.5 cups}

​?=14,2 cakes \approx 14 cakes

If angle ABC measures 35 degrees and angle BAC measures 115 degrees, what’s the angle measure of DCB?
vichka [17]

Answer:

<em>30 degrees</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming you are talking about a triangle, you would add 35 and 115 to get 150. Then subtract from 180.

35+115=150

180-150=30

What is the binomial
mina [271]

Answer:

C.

Step-by-step explanation:

The  coefficients of the expansion of (a + b)^2 are 1 2 1, which is the third row of Pascal's triangle.

For (a + b)^3 they are 1 3 3 1 which is in the 4th row, and so on

So those for the (a + b)^n are in the (n + 1)th row.

Find the area and perimeter of the shape below
Sladkaya [172]

Solution:

<u>Note that:</u>

  • Area = Base x Height
  • Perimeter = Sum of all sides

<u>Finding the area of the parallelogram:</u>

  • Area = Base x Height
  • => Area = 9.2 x 3.8
  • => Area = 34.96 cm²

<u>Finding the perimeter of the parallelogram:</u>

  • Perimeter = Sum of all sides
  • => Perimeter = 2(4.1) + 2(9.2)
  • => Perimeter = 26.6 cm

Correct option is D.
