Question

An ice sculpture is melting from the heat. Assuming it's height changes by -5/32 meters every hour, what will the change in height be after 4 hours?

Answer 1

-5/32(4) = -20/32 reduces to -5/8 meters in 4 hrs

Answer 2

`-(5)/(8)`

Explanation:

We are given that an ice sculpture is melting from the heat.

We have to find the change in height after 4 hours

Height of ice sculpture changes in one hour=-
`(5)/(32)` m

In order to find the height change in 4 hours then we will multiply 4 with
`-(5)/(32)`.

The height change after 4 hours=
`4*(-(5)/(32))`

The height change after 4 hours=
`-(5)/(8)`

Hence,the height after 4 hours=
`-(5)/(8)`
