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! :)

I need help with question 30..
Aloiza [94]

Let's say 1000 dollars was spent on all of these. That would mean 170 dollars and 240 were spent on food and entertainment respectivly. If we want to see how much of the total cost was spent on these things, we would have to add them and divide them by 1000, so:

\frac{170+240}{1000}=\frac{410}{1000}=frac{41}{100}
