Because the ratio for both candles is 20/60 or 1/3 then take the number of ounces the candle has and divide by 1/3. In expression: 9 / 1/3 => 9 * 3 = 18

Answer:  A 9-ounce candle is expected to burn for 27 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:  Given that a 20-ounce candle is expected to burn for 60 hours and a 12-ounce candle is expected to burn for 36 hours.

If the variables are directly related, we are to find the number of hours that a 9-ounce candle is expected to burn.

Let, x represents the number of ounces of the candle and y represents the corresponding number of hours for which it burns.

Then, since the variables are directly related, the graph will be a straight line.

And, the two points (x, y) = (20, 60) and (12, 36) lies on the line.

So, the slope of the line will be

m=\dfrac{36-60}{12-20}\\\\\\\Rightarrow m=\dfrac{-24}{-8}\\\\\Rightarrow m=3.

Therefore, the equation of the line is

y-36=m(x-12)\\\\\Rightarrow y-36=3(x-12)\\\\\Rightarrow y=3x.

So, if x = 9, then

y=3\times9=27.

Thus, a 9-ounce candle is expected to burn for 27 hours.

Sound travels about 335 meters/second. How many kilometers would a sound travel in 1 minute?
Lelechka [254]
If sounds travel 335 meters in 1 second , in 1 minute it travels 60 times that distance :

335m × 60 = 20100 meters
Sounds travel 20100 meters per minute
if 1000 meters = 1 km ,
20100 meters = 20100/1000 km
20100 meters = 20.1 Km

Awnser : Sound would travel 20.1 km in one minute

∠CAT and ∠MUD are supplementary. If m∠CAT=11x+16 and m∠MUD=4x+14, find the measure of each angle.
Georgia [21]

Answers:

  • x = 10
  • angle CAT = 126 degrees
  • angle MUD = 54 degrees

=========================================================

Explanation:

∠CAT and ∠MUD are supplementary, which means the angle measures add to 180. They form a straight line.

( m∠CAT ) + ( m∠MUD ) = 180

( 11x+16 ) + ( 4x+14 ) = 180

11x+16 + 4x+14 = 180

(11x+4x) + (16+14) = 180

15x+30 = 180

15x = 180-30

15x = 150

x = 150/15

x = 10

Let's find each angle based on this x value

  • m∠CAT=11x+16 = 11*10+16 = 110+16 = 126 degrees
  • m∠MUD=4x+14 = 4*10+14 = 40+14 = 54 degrees

Those two angles add to 126+54 = 180 to confirm we do indeed have supplementary angles, and confirm the correct answers.

What is the angular velocity of a 6–foot pendulum that takes 3 seconds to complete an arc of 14.13 feet? Use 3.14 for π.
irakobra [83]
The angular velocity is the linear speed divided by the radius.
  ω = d/(t*r) = (14.13 ft)/((3 s)*(6 ft))
  ω = 0.785 radians/second
There are 180/π degrees per radian, so the angular velocity can also be written as ...
  ω = 45 degrees/second
