Question

Please give a step by step solution on how to solve #5. Thanks!

Answer 1

Rate of burn(scented):1/8inch in 1/4h
=4(1/8)inch in 1h=1/2inch in 1h

Rate of burn(unscented):1/9inch in 1/3h=3(1/9)inch in 1h=1/3inch in 1h

The scented candle burns more in one hour.

1/2inch-1/3inch=1/6inch

The scented candle burns 1/6inch more per hour
