Answer:

5100 cm of wax will make 17 candles

Step-by-step explanation:

Each candle is 5 cm long, 4 cm wide, and 15 cm tall

to know the space they cover, we divide it with their volume and since they are in rectangular prism

Volume is length x width x height

5 x 4 x 15 = 20 x 15 = 300cm

1 candle = 300cm

what number of candle is represented as x

1 candle comprises of  300cm wax

x = 5100

300x = 5100 x 1 =5100

300x= 5100

x= 5100/300 = 17

5100 cm of wax will make 17 candles

Is the quotient of 3/5 ÷ 6/7 greater than or less than 3/5? Explain
Vikki [24]

The quotient of two fraction is the multiplication between the first and the inverse of the second:

\dfrac{a}{b} \div \dfrac{c}{d} = \dfrac{a}{b} \cdot \dfrac{d}{c}

So, in your case, you have

\dfrac{3}{5} \div \dfrac{6}{7} = \dfrac{3}{5} \cdot \dfrac{7}{6} = \dfrac{7}{10}

So, the question now is: which is larger, 7/10 or 3/5? To answer this question, transform the second fraction so that it will have denominator 10 as well:

\dfrac{3}{5} = \dfrac{3\cdot 2}{5 \cdot 2} = \dfrac{6}{10}

So, now it is clear that

\dfrac{7}{10} > \dfrac{6}{10}

Joanne buys a car for $1500 after 12 months Joanne is forced to sell the car for 10% less than what she brought it for, how much
MAVERICK [17]

Answer:

$1350

Step-by-step explanation:

Given she sold the car 10% less than what she bought it, amount she sold the car will be 10% of the amount she bought the car subtracted from the amount she bought he car .

She bought the car for $1500

Therefore,

10% of $1500

10% /100% x $1500

0.1 x $1500

$150

Now , amount she sold the car = $1500 - $150

= $1350

She sold the car for $1350

One night Puvi spent 1/3 of his money on dinner and then 1/4 of the remaining money on dessert. He then had just enough left so
arsen [322]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Cost of two tickets = 2 * 30 = £60

Let the amount with Puvi = £x

Money spent on dinner = (1/3)*x

                                        = \dfrac{1}{3}x

Remaining \ money =x -  \dfrac{1}{3}x =\dfrac{3}{3}x-\dfrac{1}{3}x=\dfrac{2}{3}x

Money \ spent \ on \ dessert = \dfrac{1}{4} *\dfrac{2}{3}x =\dfrac{1}{6}x\\\\\\

Total money - money spent on dinner - money spent on dessert = 60

x -\dfrac{1}{3}x -\dfrac{1}{6}x=60\\\\\\\dfrac{6}{6}x-\dfrac{1*2}{3*2}-\dfrac{1}{6}x =60\\\\\\\dfrac{6}{6}x-\dfrac{2}{6}x-\dfrac{1}{6}x=60\\\\\\\dfrac{6-2-1}{12}x=60\\\\\\\dfrac{3}{12}x=60\\\\\\x=60*\dfrac{12}{3}=60*4=240

Money that Puvi had at the start of the night = £ 240

20 POINTS AND BRAINLIEST!! Write an exponential function in the form y=ab^x
Rudik [331]

Answer:

y=13(4)^x

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the exponential function of the form:

y=ab^x

And it goes through the points (0, 13) and (3, 832).

Hence, when we substitute in 0 for x, we should get 13 for y. Therefore:

13=ab^0

Since anything to the zeroth power is 1, this yields:

a=13

So, we determined that the value of a is 13.

So, our function is now:

y=13b^x

We will need to determine b. We know that y equals 832 when x is 3. Hence:

832=13(b)^3

Divide both sides by 13:

b^3=64

Take the cube root of both sides:

b=4

Hence, our b value is 4.

Therefore, our entire equation is:

y=13(4)^x
