Total pound of candy with Noah = $\frac{1}{2}$

Total pound of candy eaten by his friends = $\frac{3}{8}$ of $\frac{1}{2}$

= $\frac{3}{8} \times \frac{1}{2}$

= $\frac{3}{16}$

Pound of candy left with Noah = $\frac{1}{2} - \frac{3}{16}$

= $\frac{8-3}{16}$

= $\frac{5}{16}$ pound

Therefore, $\frac{5}{16}$ pound of candy is left with Noah.

You need common denominators so change 1/2 to 4/8
then 4/8-3/8=
1/8 of a pound left

By making use of properties of quadratic equations, we conclude that the maximum height of the rocket is 245 feet.

<h3>What is the maximum height of the rocket?</h3>

In this problem we must obtain the maximum height reached by the rocket and based on the quadratic equation described in the statement. There is an algebraic approach to get such information quickly. First, we modify the polynomial into an implicit form:

- 5 · t² + 70 · t - h = 0

Graphically speaking, quadratic equations are parabolae and, in particular, the maximum height of the rocket is part of the vertex of the parabola. Then, the discriminant of the quadratic equation is:

70² - 4 · (- 5) · (- h) = 0

4900 - 20 · h = 0

h = 245

By making use of properties of quadratic equations, we conclude that the maximum height of the rocket is 245 feet.
