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
Answer:
D is not a supported statement
Step-by-step explanation:
Let take them one by one:
A: from table: 0.57; in statement: 0.5
0.57 > 0.5 so this is supported
B: from table: 0.2+0.16=0.36; in statement: 1/3=0.33,
0.36>0.33 so this is supported
C: 0.07 is the least, so this is supported
D: the table DOES NOT show number of students, but proportions. So statement '7 students' IS NOT supported
E: from table 0.20 overslept. 0.2 < 1/4=0.25, so this is supported
Divide the number of blocks by number of people
In this case 5/6 = 0.83 blocks or each person will get 0.83 or 5/6 of a block
