Let t = number of hours
The first candle starts at 8 inches.
It burns at 7/10 inch per hour, so in t hours it burns (7/10)t inches.
After t hours, its length is 8 - (7/10)t
The second candle starts at 6 inches.
It burns at 1/5 inch per hour, so in t hours it burns (1/5)t inches.
After t hours, its length is 6 - (1/5)t
You want the lengths to be equal, so the equation is
8 - (7/10)t = 6 - (1/5)t
The percentage increase is 46%.
Original number/start = $15
End number = $22
Increase = $22 - $15 = $7
% increase = Increase ÷ Original Number × 100
Substitute in known values
% increase = 7 ÷ 15 × 100
Divide
% increase = 0.46 × 100
Multiply
% increase = 46%
The percentage increase is 46%.

Answer: 9 / 11
That is approximately 0.82
Explanation:
The ratio of two quantities x and y is x divided by y, i.e. the quotient x / y.
So, the ratio of Sylia's work time to Paul's work time is:
Sylvia's work time
---------------------------
Paul's work time
Given that you have the times in mixed units, hours and minutes, you must convert to one of the, either hours or minutes.
If you choose to work with hours, this is the work:
1) Silvia's time: 3 hours and 45 minutes = 3 hours + 45 / 60 hours = 3hours + 0.75 hours = 3.75 hours
2) Paul's work time: 4 hours and 35 minutes = 4 hours + 35/60 hours = 4 hours + 7/12 hours = (48+7)/12 = 55/12 hours ≈ 4.58 hours
3) Ratio:
Sylvia's work time 3.75 hours 3.75*12 45 9
------------------------- = --------------------- = ---------------- = -------- = -----
Paul's work time (55/12) hours 55 55 11
≈ 0.82
You can calculate the ratio using minutes and shall obtain the same result. Look:
1) 3 hours + 45 minutes = 3 * 60 minutes + 45 minutes = 180 minutes + 45 minutes = 225 minutes
2) 4 hours + 35 minutes = 4*60 minutes + 35 minutes = 240 minutes + 35 minutes = 275 minutes
3)
225 minutes 9
----------------- = ------, which is the same result obtained above.
275 minutes 11
<span>2x+ y = 3
x = 2y - 1
Make sure there are NO SPACES in your answer. Include a comma in your answer.
It looks like I could substitute the x=2y-1. Into 2x+y=3
2(2y-1)+y=3
4y-2+y=3
5y=5
y=1
x=2(1)-1
x=1
(1,1)
CHECK
2x+y=3
2(1)+(1)=3
2+1=3
3=3
Left hand side=Right hand side
Check other equation
x=2y-1
1=2(1)-1
1=1
Therefore the solution is (1,1). Since the left hand side= right hand side in each equation</span>
