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
Answer:
The slope is -3
Step-by-step explanation:
The formula is y= mx + b
m = slope
b= y intercept
Therefore, the slope is -3
27 inches ......... 3/8
x inches .............8/8
<h3>x = (27×8/8)/(3/8) = 27×8/3 = 216/3 = 72 inches (father)</h3>
10/5 = 1/x
cross multiply
10x = 5
x = 5/10
x = 1/2...u need 1/2 gallon per fish
15^2 + 20^2
= 225 + 400
= 625
square root of 625 = 25
answer:<span>length of the Hypotenuse is</span> 25
