The size of the candle 12cm will be reduced as follows:
12-0.5x (x are hours), an the size of the candle 18cm will be reduced as follows: 18-2x, so if you want to find at what time both will be the same height only match the two equations: 12-0.5x=18-2x and solvr for x.
-0.5x+2x=18-12
1.5x=6
x=6/1.5=4 this means 4 hours
If you lit both candles at 6pm then at 10pm they will be the same height
(adittional info: the height will be 10inches)

kotykmax [81]

Answer:

186,666,667 Americans know who the vice president is

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question, we are tasked with calculating the number of USA citizens that know who the vice president is.

Now, in this question, we are made to know that the total population is set at 280 million with 2 out of three knowing who the vice president is.

What this means is that a fraction of the population at 2/3 knows who the vice president is

This fraction is equal to; 2/3 * 280,000,000 = 186,666,666.66666666

This is approximately equal to 186,666,667 people
