Question

A candle burns down at the rate of 0.5 inches per hour. The original height of the candle was 6 inches.

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Divide 6 by 0.5 to represent how many hours it takes to burn down the whole candle.

$6 \div \frac{1}{2} = 6 \times \frac{2}{1} = 12$

It'll take 12 hours to burn down the whole candle.
