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)

There were 13,531 new products introduced last year. If 87% of the products introduced last year failed to reach their business
kvasek [131]
I'm assuming that since 87% failed, that would the remaining 13% was a success.  If that assumption is correct, than we simply have to take:

.13 * 13531 = 1759.03 products were successful.

An object is thrown upward from the top of a 192 ft building with an initial velocity of 64 feet
Airida [17]

Answer:

t=6

Step-by-step explanation:

ground height = 0

(are you sure your formula is correct? isn't it - 16t²?)

if h=16t² +64t+192 is true then

16t² +64t+192 = 0

t² + 4t + 12 = 0

t = (-4 ± √(4² - 4*12)) / 2*1 = (-4 ± √-32) / 2 = -2 ± 2√-2

There is no solution of t

if it is h= - 16t² +64t+192

0 =- 16t² + 64t + 192

t² - 4t - 12 = 0

(t + 2) (t -6) = 0

t should be positive

t = 6 sec

NikAS [45]

Answer:

A college student took 4 courses last semester. His final grades, along with the credits each class is worth, are as follow: A (3), B (4), C (2), and D (3). The grading system assigns quality points as follows: A: 4; B: 3; C: 2; D: 1; and F: 0. Find the student’s GPA for this semester. Round your answer to the nearest thousandth.

another way is

This is a weighted average question. You are going to "weight" each course by the number of credits it is worth and then divide by the total number of credits. In other words, you are going to multiply each grade (A=4, B=3) by the number of credits attached to that grade. This will ensure that the courses that have more credits count more in the overall average. Then you are going to divide by the total number of credits to get the overall GPA.

So,

(3*4 + 4*3 + 2 *2 + 3*1)/(3+4+2+3) = GPA
