Question

An ice sculpture is melting from the heat. Assuming its height changes by negative 5 over 32 meters every hour, what will be the change in height after 4 hours?

Answer 1

Hey! Hope that I can help.

To do this, you need to multiply
`- (5)/(32)` by 4.


`- (5)/(32) * 4 = -(5)/(8)`.

Answer:
`-(5)/(8)`

Answer 2

`(-5)/(8)`

Explanation:

Given : Height of an ice sculpture changes by negative 5 over 32 meters every hour.

To Find: what will be the change in height after 4 hours?

Solution:

Height changes in 1 hour by
`(-5)/(32)`

So, the change in height after 4 hours =
`(-5)/(32) * 4`

=
`(-5)/(8)`

Hence,the change in height after 4 hours will be
`(-5)/(8)`
