11\frac{2}{5}\ inches\ burn\ in\ x\ hours\\\\
1\frac{1}{8}\ inches\ burn\ in\ 1\ hour\\\\cross\ multiplication\\\\
11\frac{2}{5}=1\frac{1}{8}x\ \ \ \ | divide\ by\ 1\frac{1}{8}\\\\
\frac{\frac{57}{5}}{\frac{9}{8}}=x\\\\\frac{57}{5}*\frac{8}{9}=x\\\\
x=\frac{456}{45}=10\frac{2}{15}\\\\
Candle\ will\  burn\ in \ 10\frac{2}{15}\ hours.

Pls help I will give brainliest
miss Akunina [59]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

the distance around the figure--we need to find the perimeter

we have rectangle that has the side, 8 and 15

P(r)=2(8)+2(15)=16+30=46

we also have half of the circle with the diameter =8 and r=4

Circumference =2*3.14*r

C=2*3.14*4=25.12

we need just half of the circle 25.12/2=12.56

P figure=46+12.56=58.56

Area= rectangle=l*w=8*15=120

Area(circle)=3.14*r^2=3.14*16=50.24

half circle 50.24/2=25.12

Area figure=120+25.12=145.12
