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

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.

ValentinkaMS [17]

Answer:

  20 chairs

Step-by-step explanation:

After 136 people are seated in the bleacher, there can be 514 people seated in chairs. We know that 514 = 25×20 +14, so there can be 20 rows of 25 chairs. We require an equal number of chairs in each row, so there cannot be some rows with 21 chairs, nor can there be a 26th row with 14 chairs.

There can be 20 chairs in each row.

how do you simplify 24-8 root 3 over 6? the correct answer is 12-4 root 3 over 3 but i’m just confused on how you simplify to ge
iren [92.7K]
You simplify the fraction by dividing 2 to the nominator and the denominator. So 24/2=12, 8/2=4, 6/2=3. You can only divide a root with a root number so in this case the root three doesn't get affected

Jet001 [13]

Answer:

Teresa should build 7.5 inches model.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided information.

Teresa is building a scale model of the JP Morgan chase Tower in Houston.

Her scale model, 1.5 inches represents 61 meters.

The actual building is 305 meters tall,

First find how many 61's are there in 305.

For this divide 305 by 61.

\frac{305}{61}= 5

Actual building is 5 times taller than 61. Thus the model should be 5 times taller than 1.5.

multiply 1.5 with 5 gives us:

1.5\times 5=7.5

Hence, Teresa should build 7.5 inches model.
