Question

An ice sculpture is melting from the heat. Assuming its height changes by negative 5 over 32 meters every hour, what will be the change in height after 4 hours?

Answer 1

Hey! Hope that I can help.

To do this, you need to multiply $- \frac{5}{32}$ by 4.

$- \frac{5}{32} * 4 = -\frac{5}{8}$.

Answer: $-\frac{5}{8}$

Answer 2

Answer:

$\frac{-5}{8}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :  Height of an ice sculpture changes by negative 5 over 32 meters every hour.

To Find: what will be the change in height after 4 hours?

Solution:

Height changes in 1 hour by $\frac{-5}{32}$

So, the change in height after 4 hours = $\frac{-5}{32} \times 4$

                                                               = $\frac{-5}{8}$

Hence,the change in height after 4 hours will be $\frac{-5}{8}$
