Answer: y=6-0.5x

Step-by-step explanation:

Given  : The initial height of candle = 6 inches

Amount of candle burn each hour = one half an inch per hour.

=\dfrac{1}{2}\text{ inch per hour}

Now , the height of candle = ( initial height ) -( Rate of burning) (Numb er of hours)

Let y be the height of the candle after x hours.

Then, the equation to represent the situation will be :

y=6-\dfrac{1}{2}x\\\\\Rightarrow\ y=6-0.5x

Un escalador sube 225m de altura. El asenso lo hizo en 3 etapas. En la primera subio un quinto en la, en la tercera un cuarto. ¿
kiruha [24]

Answer:

Segunda etapa= 123.75 metros

Step-by-step explanation:

Altura total= 225 metros

<u>En la primera estapa subió el 20% (un quinto):</u>

Primera etapa= 225*0.2= 45 metros

<u>En la tercera etapa subió 25% (un cuarto):</u>

Tercera etapa= 225*0.250 56.25 metros

Ahora debemos determinar cuánto subió en la segunda etapa:

Segunda etapa= altura total - total subido

Segunda etapa= 225 - (45 + 56.25)

Segunda etapa= 123.75 metros
