The word in the problem that indicates that a negative sign should be used is "descend"

<h3></h3><h3>How many meters did he descend?</h3>

We know that he stops for water breaks four times, and between each water break, he descends 15 meters.

The written equation is:

4*(-15)m = -60m

Why the negative sign is used?

The negative sign is used because the hiker is descending, so its height is decreasing. The word in the problem that indicates that a negative sign should be used is "descend"

hoa [83]

Step-by-step explanation:

The first thing we must observe is that the hourly rate for each candle is:

<em />

<em>scented candles: </em>

(1/12) / (20/60)

Simplifying:

= (1/12) / (10/30)

= (1/12) / (5/15)

= (1/12) / (1/3)

= (3/12)

= (1/4) inches / hour

<em>Unscented candles: </em>

(1/6) / (30/60)

Simplifying:

= (1/6) / (15/30)

= (1/6) / (3/6)

= (1/6) / (1/2)

= (2/6)

= (1/3) inches / hour

Answer:

The unscented candles burn faster at a rate of:

(1/3) inches / hour.

An exercise ball, also known as a yoga ball, is a ball constructed of soft elastic with a diameter of approximately 35 to 85 centimeters (14 to 34 inches) and filled with air. The air pressure is changed by removing a valve stem and either filling with air or letting the ball deflate. It is most often used in physical therapy, athletic training and exercise. It can also be used for weight training. The ball, while often referred to as a Swiss ball, is also known by a number of different names, including balance ball, birth ball, body ball, ball, fitness ball, gym ball, gymnastic ball, physio ball, pilates ball, naval mine, Pezzi ball, stability ball, Swedish ball, or therapy ball.
