Question

Elohim bought the candle below for Jhemson's birthday. The package says that the candle burns one hour for every 20 cubic centimeters of wax. What is the volume of the candle so that Felice can figure out how long it will burn?​

Answer 1

To find out how long the candle will burn, one needs to calculate the volume of the candle in cubic centimeters and divide it by 20, as it burns for one hour per every 20 cubic centimeters.

Step-by-step explanation:

The student is trying to determine the burning time of a candle based on its volume and the given rate of combustion. In order to calculate the burning time, Felice would need to know the volume of the candle. Since the package states that the candle burns for one hour for every 20 cubic centimeters of wax, the volume of the candle (in cubic centimeters) divided by 20 will give the total burning time in hours.
