Alan has c pounds candy.
<span>He gives his friend Matt 2/3 of the candy he has.
So alan gets 2c/3 pounds
2c/3 = 4/9
⇒ c = 4/9 × 3/2 = 2/3 pound
Now alan has = 2/3 - 4/9 = 6-4 / 9 = 2/9 pound candy

Answer:
- 1.25 hours or 1 hour and 15 minutes
Step-by-step explanation:
<em>Question</em>
- <em>Lisa lit a candle with a height of 8 inches. When lit, this candle loses 10% of its original height every hour. </em>
- <em>Please complete the following sentence by writing the number in the blank.
Until the candle has been burning for at least _______ hours, the height of Jennifer's candle will be more than 7 inches.</em>
<u>Candle looses 10% of 8 inches, it equals:</u>
- 8*0.1 = 0.8 inches an hour
<u>Let x be required time, then:</u>
- 8 - 0.8x > 7
- 0.8x < 8 - 7
- 0.8x < 1
- x < 1/0.8
- x < 1.25
- or 1 hour 15 minutes
-4-6= -10
-10 = Y
-4 = X
Therefore the answer is (-4,-10) which isn’t on the options
<span>Since the h represents the number of hours spent working on the vehicle then the 75 represents the charge per hour for the work, leaving only the 0.08 which stands for the sales tax percentage which is 8% or 0.08 of the product of $75 times the number of hours worked on the car.</span>
