Answer:

41 candles were made.

––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––

First of all, we need to find the volume of the rectangular prism with the information we're given:

L: 7cm

W: 2cm

H: 10cm

Formula (prism volume):

V = whl → V = (2)(7)(10) → V = (14)(10) → V = 140

Now, we divide the total volume of candles (wax) produced by the amount of wax that 1 candle contains, that way, we will find the number of candles produced:

5740 / 140 = 41

Hope it helped,

Standard Form: ax² + bx + c = 0
Quadratic Formula: $x=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac} }{2a}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define

4x² + 9x - 1 = 0

Step 2: Define variables

a = 4

b = 9

c = -1

Step 3: Find roots

Substitute: $x=\frac{-9\pm\sqrt{9^2-4(4)(-1)} }{2(4)}$
Exponents: $x=\frac{-9\pm\sqrt{81-4(4)(-1)} }{2(4)}$
Multiply: $x=\frac{-9\pm\sqrt{81-16} }{8}$
Subtract: $x=\frac{-9\pm\sqrt{65} }{8}$

A 51 foot piece of wire is cut into 3 sections so that the first section is three times as long as the second section and the se

kirill [66]

Answer:

The length of the longest section x = 36 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Total length of the wire = 51 ft

Let first section of wire = x

Second section of wire = y

Third section of wire = z

According to given data

x = 3 y & y = 4 z

Total length of the wire = x + y + z = 51

$y + 3 y + \frac{y}{4} = 51$

$\frac{17}{4} y = 51$

y = 12

x = 3 × 12 = 36

$z = \frac{y}{4} = \frac{12}{4} = 3$

Therefore the length of the longest section x = 36 ft
