An ancient Chinese candle clock tells the amount of time that has passed by the amount of wax that has been melted off the candl

e. Each candle is divided into 12 sections, marked 1 inch apart. It takes 4 hours for each candle to completely melt, after which a new candle is lit. If two candles have completely melted and one candle has melted 4 in, how many minutes have passed since the first candle was lit?

Two candles=8 hours=8*60=480 minutes
4 inch is 4/12 of a candle, 4/12 of 4 hours=16/12=4/3 hours=80 minutes
so the total minutes are 480+80=560

Answer:

480+80=560

If a colored candle and a white candle are burned at the same time for an hour, then the colored candle will burn faster, because it has more chemicals than the white candle.
