Question

Elton is a candle maker. Each 15 centimeter long candle he makes burns evenly for six hours. If Elton makes a 45 long centimeter candle, how long will it burn?

Answer 1

45/15=3
This is the equivalent of how many candles the 45cm candle is compared to the 15cm candles.
3x6=18
The candle will burn for 18hours.

Answer 2

18 hours

Explanation:

15 centimeters -> 6 hours
