Question

an ice sculture measures 52 inches and melts continuously by 3% per minute. find the height of a sculpture after 15 minutes

Answer 1

Answer:

28.6 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

3 percent of 52 is 1.56 so it is melting at a rate of 1.56 inches per minute

15x1.56 is 23.4

52-23.4=28.6 so after 15 minutes the sculpture will be only 28.6 inches tall
