Answer:

The heights are the same after 4 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

The red candle burns at a rate of 7/10 inches per hour. In t hours, (7/10)t inches have burned. The height of the candle after t hours is 8 - (7/10)t.

The blue candle burns at a rate of 1/5 inch per hour. In t hours, (1/5)t inches have burned. The height of the candle after t hours is 6 - (1/5)t.

You need to find the time, t, when their heights are equal.

8 - (7/10)t = 6 - (1/5)t

Multiply both sides by 10 (the LCD).

80 - 7t = 60 - 2t

-5t = -20

t = 4

The heights are the same after 4 hours.

IF AM = 10, then TC =?
iren [92.7K]
Hey there,

If AM= 10

We do 180 - 10.

And that would give us 170°

TC=170

Hope this helps.

A rectangular container can hold 45 candles, while a cylindrical container holds 41 candles. Each rectangular container costs th
Delvig [45]

Answer: Rectangular container is preferred to minimize the costs and  there are 142 rectangular container is needed to pack 6400 candles.

Explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of candles in a rectangular container = 45

Number of candles in a cylindrical container = 41

Cost of each rectangular container = $15

Cost of each cylinder container = $16

That means ,

In case of rectangular container,

Cost of 45 candles = $15

Cost of 1 candle is given by

\frac{15}{45}=\frac{1}{3}=\$0.33

Similarly,

In case of cylindrical container,

Cost of 41 candles = $16

Cost of 1 candle is given by

\frac{16}{41}=\$0.39

So, if the company needs to package 6,400 candles , it should use <u>rectangular containers </u>to minimize costs.

Number of candle he need to pack = 6400

Number of rectangular container for 6400 candles is given by

\frac{6400}{45}=142.2=142\ approximately.

Hence, there are 142 rectangular container is needed to pack 6400 candles.
