Elio makes candles that are 14cm. Each candle burns 8 hours before going out. He is wondering how many hours a 21 cm tall candle

can burn for. He assumes that the relationship between the height of a candle and number of hours it burns (h), is proportional.

Elio is right in assuming the relationship between the height and the hours it burns is proportional.

Find the unit rate

14 ÷ 8 = 1.75 cm/h

Divide

21 ÷ 1.75 = 12

You can set this up as an algebraic equation to check the answer.

If the candle is 21 cm tall, it will burn for 12 hours.

Alexus [3.1K]

Answer:

2 people

Step-by-step explanation:

no. of people = x

total parking costs = 10.25x

total tickets cost = 35.25x

total = 10.25x + 35.25x

suppose 3 people go, then the total cost will be

10.25(3) + 35.25(3) = 136.5 and this is greater than 116

Suppose 2 people go then the cost will be

10.25(2) + 35.25(2) = 91 which is less than 116

so only 2 people can go.

If 1000 square centimeters of material is available to make a box with a square base and an open top, find the largest possible
guapka [62]
<span>The area of the base is x^2> The height is h. Each side of the box has area xh. There are 4 sides of the box so the total surface area of the box is x^2+4xh and that is equal to 1000. Solve that equation for h: x^2+4xh = 1000 h = (1000-x^2)/4x so the Volume = x^2[(1000-x^2)/4x] Simplify and get V = 250x-x^3/4 The volume will be a maximum when its first derivative is 0. V' = 250-3/4x^2 Set to 0 and solve. x=18.26 Now plug into the volume function to find the maximum volume: V=250(18.26)-(18.26)^3/4 V= 4564.35 - 1522.10 =3042.25</span>

Your sloe would be 2/3x because that fraction is rise over run so you go up two and over three positive the -3 is your intercept but he fraction simplified is your slope good luck
