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.

A bill to landscape your yard is $720. The Materials cost $375 and the labor is $34.50 per hour. Write and solve an equation to
Igoryamba

Answer:

Hey what'sup?

You need to dig a little in, for what it's actually meaning

Here the total is 720 right?

Which came from the materials and the labors work in hourly basis

So it's like

Cost of the material + no of hours = bill

We don't know what the no of hours are, so let's assume it as 'x'

Hence the required equation is

375+35*x=720

35*x = 720-375

35*x = 345

Therefore x=345/35 =9.8

Therefore they worked for 9.8 hours or approximately 10 hours

chubhunter [2.5K]

Answer:

1 g/cm³

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume of the model:

V=1/3bh= 1/3*100*6= 300 cm³

Density= weight/volume= 300 g/300 cm³= 1 g/cm³

The lowest density is 1 g/cm³
