<span>Answer:
Roma Sherry drove 330 miles from her hometown to Tucson. During her return trip, she was able to increase her speed by 11 mph. If her return trip took 1 hour less time, find her original speed and her speed returning home.
:
Let s = original speed
then
(s+11) = return speed
:
Write a time equation: Time = distance%2Fspeed
:
Original time = return time + 1 hr
330%2Fs = 330%2F%28%28s%2B11%29%29 + 1
:
Multiply equation by s(s+11) and you have:
330(s+11) = 330s + s(s+11)
:
330s + 3630 = 330s + s^2 + 11s
:
0 = 330s - 330s + s^2 + 11s - 3630
:
A quadratic equation:
s^2 + 11s - 3630 = 0
Factor this to:
(s + 66)(s - 55) = 0
Positive solution
s = 55 mph is original speed.
:
Find the time
330/55 = 6 hr, original time
and
330/66 = 5 hrs, faster time; confirms our solution.</span>
Answer:
The candle must burn at 2cm per hour in order to be 6cm tall after 4 hours. I know this because the candle has to burn 8cm in 4 hours and that amounts to 2cm per hour.
Step-by-step explanation:
Lets solve!
We have to find out how much of the candle needs to be burned!
14cm - 6cm = 8cm
The candle must burn 8cm in 4 hours!
Lets find out how much the candle burns in 1 hour.
= 2cm per hour
The candle must burn at 2cm per hour in order to be 6cm tall after 4 hours. I know this because the candle has to burn 8cm in 4 hours and that amounts to 2cm per hour.
Woohoo, We did it! <u>Would you like to mark my answer as brainliest?</u> I would love that!
There are 6 apples and 2 oranges.
So the ratio of apples to oranges would be 6:2.
However this can be simplified, because these number have a common factor, which is 2. So you divide 2 by 2, and 6 by 2, and get 1 and 3. So the ratio of apples to oranges in simplified form is 1:3. Hope this explains it :)
