Answer:
What is your question????
Answer with Step-by-step explanation:
A candle is 4 inches tall and burns at the rate of 0.6 inch per hour.
i.e. after 1 hour height of candle=4-0.6 inches
After 2 hours height of candle=4-0.6-0.6 inches
after x hours height of candle=4-0.6x
Also,
If the height of the candle after x hours is 1.5 inches
⇒ 4-0.6x=1.5
⇒ 0.6x=4-1.5
⇒ 0.6x=2.5
⇒ x=2.5/0.6
⇒ x=4.166
Hence, equation to represent the situation. is:
4-0.6x=1.5
and the expected number of hours in which the candle melted to 1.5 inches is:
4.166 hours
Answer:
80
Step-by-step explanation:
If we assume that Tammy ate 12 of the cupcakes she baked, we can write an equation relating the numbers of cupcakes.
__
<h3>setup</h3>
Let S represent the number of cupcakes Stacey baked. Then S-48 is the number Tammy baked. After Tammy ate 12 of her own cupcakes, the number she had was (S -48) -12 = (S -60). Stacey had 4 times this number:
S = 4(S -60)
<h3>solution</h3>
240 = 3S . . . . . . simplify, add 240-S
80 = S . . . . . . . divide by 3
Stacey had 80 cupcakes.
_____
<em>Additional comment</em>
Tammy had 80-48 = 32. After Tammy ate 12, she had 20. Then Stacey had 80/20 = 4 times as many.
If Tammy ate 12 of Stacey's cupcakes, then Stacey started with 60.
Answer:
b³
Step-by-step explanation:
The division symbol between the two terms represents a "subtraction symbol", meaning you have to subtract the exponents like this:
Thus, the answer is b³
