Question


A red candle is 115 inches tall. The label claims that the candle will melt 1 1/8 inch every hour it burns. If the label is
correct, for how many hours will the candle burn?

(I asked this before but made a mistake on the number)

Answer 1

This question is pretty simple!

All you need to do is divide 115 by 1 1/8 or 1.125

And your answer should be 102.22

So you can round this to 102 hours. :D
