Because the ratio for both candles is 20/60 or 1/3 then take the number of ounces the candle has and divide by 1/3. In expression: 9 / 1/3 => 9 * 3 = 18

Answer:

Brady rides at slower speed which is 17 miles/hours for 3 hours and 36 minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Brady rode 70 miles in 4 hours.

For $t$ hours he rode at the average rate of 17 miles/hour

For rest of the time he rode at the average rate of 22 miles per hour.

To find the time Braady rode at the slower speed.

Solution:

Total time of riding = 4 hours

Time for which Brady rides at 17 miles/ hour = $t$ hours

Distance covered in $t$ hours = $Speed\times time=17\times t =17t\ miles$

So, time for which Brady rides at 22 miles/ hour = $(4-t)$ hours

Distance covered in $(4-t)$ hours = $Speed\times time=22\times(4-t) =(88-22t)\ miles$

Total distance can be given as:

⇒ $17t+88-22t$

Simplifying.

⇒ $-5t+88$

Total distance given =70 miles.

Thus, the equation to find $t$ can be given as:

$-5t+88=70$

Subtracting both sides by 88.

$-5t+88-88=70-88$

$-5t=-18$

Dividing both sides by -5.

$\frac{-5t}{-5}=\frac{-18}{-5}$

∴ $t=3.6$ hours

$3.6\ hours = 3\ hour+ (0.6\times 60)\ minutes = 3\ hour\ 36\ minutes$

Thus, Brady rides at slower speed which is 17 miles/hours for 3 hours and 36 minutes.
