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
C. y - 3 = 2/3(x-3)
Nothing much to do here except examine each equation and plug in the numbers to see if it's true.
a. y + 3 = 3/2(x+3)
Try 3,3
3 + 3 = 3/2(3+3)
6 = 3/2(6). And no need to go further, it's obviously not equal.
b. y - 3 = 3/2(x-3)
Try 3,3
3 - 3 = 3/2(3-3)
0 = 3/2(0). OK. Let's try 6,5
5 - 3 = 3/2(6-3)
2 = 3/2(3)
2 = 9/2 And it's not true, so check the next one.
c. y - 3 = 2/3(x-3)
Try 3,3
3 - 3 = 2/3(3-3)
0 = 0. Check 6,5
5 - 3 = 2/3(6-3)
2 = 2/3(3)
2 = 2. Good. Both sample points work. This is the correct answer.
Just to be sure, let's check the next option
d. y + 3 = 2/3(x+3)
Try 3,3
3 + 3 = 2/3(3+3)
6 = 2/3(6). And doesn't match.
