Question

A 55-inch candle burns down in 44 hours. How far has it burned after 7 1/2 hours? I'll give u brains

Answer 1

9.375 inches burned in 7.5 hours

Explanation:

To find how much burns in an hour, we need to divided 55 by 44, which, when calculated, is 1.25 inches

So 1.25 inches of the candle burns each hour

So now we multiply 1.25 by 7.5

1.25 x 7.5 = 9.375

Thus, the amount of candle that burned in 7.5 hours is 9.375 inches
