Answer:

  • 1.25 hours or 1 hour and 15 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>Question</em>

  • <em>Lisa lit a candle with a height of 8 inches. When lit, this candle loses 10% of its original  height every hour. </em>
  • <em>Please complete the following sentence by writing the number in the blank.   Until the candle has been burning for at least _______ hours, the height of Jennifer's candle will be more than 7 inches.</em>

<u>Candle looses 10% of 8 inches, it equals:</u>

  • 8*0.1 = 0.8 inches an hour

<u>Let x be required time, then:</u>

  • 8 - 0.8x > 7
  • 0.8x <  8 - 7
  • 0.8x  < 1
  • x  < 1/0.8
  • x  <  1.25
  • or 1 hour 15 minutes

The similar circles P and Q can be made equal by dilation and translation

  • The horizontal distance between the center of circles P and Q is 11.70 units
  • The scale factor of dilation from circle P to Q is 2.5

<h3>The horizontal distance between their centers?</h3>

From the figure, we have the centers to be:

P = (-5,4)

Q = (6,8)

The distance is then calculated using:

d = √(x2 - x1)^2 + (y2 - y1)^2

So, we have:

d = √(6 + 5)^2 + (8 - 4)^2

Evaluate the sum

d = √137

Evaluate the root

d = 11.70

Hence, the horizontal distance between the center of circles P and Q is 11.70 units

<h3>The scale factor of dilation from circle P to Q</h3>

We have their radius to be:

P = 2

Q = 5

Divide the radius of Q by P to determine the scale factor (k)

k = Q/P

k = 5/2

k = 2.5

Hence, the scale factor of dilation from circle P to Q is 2.5
