Elio makes candles that are 14 cm tall. 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. How long can a 21 cm tall candle burn for?

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.

Hope this helped you! :)

Sphere A has a radius of 24 centimeters, and sphere B has a diameter of 42 centimeters. The radius of sphere A is multiplied by
Tamiku [17]

Answer:

7/8

Step-by-step explanation:

Sphere A has a radius of 24 centimeters, and sphere B has a diameter of 42 centimeters.

WE need find which factor is multiplied with radius of sphere A to produce the radius of sphere B

Diameter of sphere B is 42

Radius = diameter /2

Radius = 42/2= 21

Radius of sphere B = 21

RAdius of sphere A times x= radius of sphere B

24 * x= 21

Divide by 24 on both sides

x= 21/ 24

divide top and bottom by 3

x= 7/ 8

A bird at the top of a tree looks down at a field mouse with an angle of depression of 65°. If the field mouse is 30 meters from
Nesterboy [21]
The angle of depression made by the bird to the mouse is seen on the attached image. We can find the distance from the field mouse up to the bird's eye by getting the hypotenuse of the triangle formed. Using the CAH in Pythagorean Theorem, we will have:

cos ∅ = adjacent / hypotenuse
cos 65 = 30 / h
h = 70.98 ≈ 71 m  ⇒ the answer is D
