Suppose that the height (in centimeters) of a candle is a linear function of the amount of time (in hours) it has been burning.

After 5 hours of burning, a candle has a height of 26 centimeters. After 24 hours of burning, its height is 14.6 centimeters. What is the height of the candle after 18 hours?

Answer:Let Y = height

Let X = time

Height is a linear function of time, so Y = mX + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.  

We can calculate the slope from the given values (8,20.4) and (19,18.2)

Slope = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1) = (18.2 - 20.4) / (19 - 8) = -2.2 / 11 = -0.2

This means that the height of the candle is going down by 0.2 cm per hour

Since 16 hours is 8 hours after the first data point of (8,20.4), the height will go down by 8 * (-0.2) = -1.6 cm in the 8 hours between hour 8 and hour 16.  

So the height of the candle after 16 hours = 20.4 - 1.6 = 18.8 centimeters

Answer:

About 34 workers

Step-by-step explanation:

200/30 to find on average how many trees can be carved by one worker

The answer is 6.666, so just 6

Then 6*4=24 to figure out how many more trees can be carved by (4 more) workers

So, add 4 to 30 and about 224 trees can be carved.
