Hannah has another candle that is 14 cm tall. How fast must it burn in order to also be 6 cm tall after 4 hours? Explain your th
RideAnS [48]

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.

\frac{8cm}{4hours}= 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!

2x - z = 4
6x - 5z = 18
3z - 2w = -18
If u want me to solve them it’s
1. X = -2y + 12
2. x = 10 - 4/3y | for y, y = 15/2 - 3/4x
3. x = 2+ 1/2z | for z , z = -4 + 2x
4. x = 3 + 5/6z | for z , z = - 18/5 + 6/5x
5. W = -3/2x + 13/2 | for x , x = -2/3w + 13/3
6. x = -5w + 13 | w = -1/5x + 13/5
