Answer:
Area equals to 3/16
Step-by-step explanation:
You can compute this with the easiest way,that is with formula
Area=LENGTH×WIDTH
So,1/2 × 3/8=3/16
Let t = number of hours
The first candle starts at 8 inches.
It burns at 7/10 inch per hour, so in t hours it burns (7/10)t inches.
After t hours, its length is 8 - (7/10)t
The second candle starts at 6 inches.
It burns at 1/5 inch per hour, so in t hours it burns (1/5)t inches.
After t hours, its length is 6 - (1/5)t
You want the lengths to be equal, so the equation is
8 - (7/10)t = 6 - (1/5)t
Given:
assessment rate = 51%
tax rate = 53.26 per 1,000
53.26 / 1000 = 0.05326
0.05326 x 100% = 5.326%
Effective tax rate = assessment rate * tax rate
ETR = 51% * 5.326%
ETR = 2.72%
