Answer:

The heights are the same after 4 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

The red candle burns at a rate of 7/10 inches per hour. In t hours, (7/10)t inches have burned. The height of the candle after t hours is 8 - (7/10)t.

The blue candle burns at a rate of 1/5 inch per hour. In t hours, (1/5)t inches have burned. The height of the candle after t hours is 6 - (1/5)t.

You need to find the time, t, when their heights are equal.

8 - (7/10)t = 6 - (1/5)t

Multiply both sides by 10 (the LCD).

80 - 7t = 60 - 2t

-5t = -20

t = 4

The heights are the same after 4 hours.

What is the volume?<br> 2 mm<br> 8 mm<br> 4 mm<br> cubic millimeters
shutvik [7]

Answer:

64 mm³

Step-by-step explanation:

I am assuming there was a photo to go with this problem

However the general formula to find volume is usually V = l×w×h

  • It does not matter which measurement is which because they all get multiplied together.
  • However assigning a name to each unit of measurement we will denoted the length (l) as 2 mm, the width (w) as 8 mm, and the height (h) as 4 mm
  • Plugging these values into the formula we get: V = (2)(8)(4) = 64 mm³

The point is on the x-axis.this is also wrong as you can see that the point lies on y axis not x axis
