Answer:
10 2/15 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
If we have a candle that is 11 2/5 inches tall
It burns 1 1/8 inches per hour. We need to divide to see how long the candle will last
11 2/5 ÷ 1 1/8
I will convert the mixed numbers to improper fractions
11 2/5 = (5*11+2)/5 = 57/5
1 1/8 = (8*1+1)/8 = 9/8
57/5 ÷ 9/8
Copy dot flip
57/5 * 8/9
456/45
Now we change it back to a mixed number
45 goes into 456 10 times with 6 left over
10 6/45
This simplifies to 10 2/15
Using the percentage concept, it is found that 60% of the students voted to donate a telescope.
<h3>What is a percentage?</h3>
The percentage of an amount a over a total amount b is given by a multiplied by 100% and divided by b, that is:
In this problem:
- The total amount is the number of students, which is of b = 500.
- 300 voted to donate, hence a = 300.
The <em>percentage </em>is given by:
60% of the students voted to donate a telescope.

In the given problem there are several known and important facts to take note of. Firstly the restaurant bill without tax and tips is $28.35. Then the tax of 6.25% needs to be added with the bill. Also a tip of 20% on the original bill needs to be added to find the total cost.
Then tax on the restaurant bill = (6.25/100) * 28.35
= 1.77
So the tax on the restaurant bill is $1.77
Amount of tips given = 28.35 * (20/100)
= 5.67
Amount of tips paid is $5.67
Total cost paid in the restaurant = ( 28.35 + 1.77 + 5.67) dollars
= 35.79 dollars
You would add 5 and 1.2 which gives you 6.2 then you add negative 3.6 which then gives you 3.6.
