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.

Helen [10]
Start with $30.25. 
Subtract $14.00 to isolate the amount of money spent on admission. 
30.25-14.00= 16.25. As a group $16.25 was spent on admission.
Admission is 3.25 per person. Divide 16.25 by 3.25. 
16.25/3.25=5. 
5 friends went ice skating.

If the pointer in the figure is spun twice, find the probability that the pointer lands on red (R) both spins.
r-ruslan [8.4K]

The probability of the pointer lands on red(R) both spin = \frac{1}{36}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

The number of parts = 6

The pointer is spun twice.

To find the probability of the pointer lands on red(R) both spin.

Formula

Probability of an event = number of required outcomes ÷ the total number of outcomes.

P(A and B) = P(A)×P(B)

Now,

For one spin,

A = RED comes.

For second spin,

B = RED comes

So,

P(A) = \frac{1}{6} and P(B) =  \frac{1}{6}

Then,

P(A and B) =  \frac{1}{6} × \frac{1}{6}  = \frac{1}{36}

Hence, the probability of the pointer lands on red(R) both spin = \frac{1}{36}
