  • <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

A store is having a sale on trail mix and jelly beans. For 5 pounds of trail mix and 6 pounds of jelly beans the total cost is $
inna [77]

The cost for each pound of trail mix and each pound of jelly is given below.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let t = cost/pound of trail mix

Let j = cost/pound of jelly beans

5t + 6j = 35

3t + 2j = 15  =  > 2j = 15 - 3t

5t + 3(15 - 3t) = 35

5t + 45 - 9t = 35

- 4t + 45 = 35

- 4t  =  - 10

4t = 10

t = 2.5

3(2.5) + 2j = 15

7.5 + 2j = 15

2j = 7.5

j = 3.75

Answer:

SA = 108π cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

The surface area (SA) of a sphere is calculated as

SA = 4πr² ( r is the radius )

Thus the SA of a hemisphere is

SA = \frac{1}{2} × 4πr² = 2πr²

The area of the circular base = πr²

Then total SA is

SA = 2πr² + πr² = 3πr² = 3π × 6² = 3π × 36 = 108π cm²
