Question

Elton is a candle maker. Each 15 cm long candle he makes burns evenly for 6 hours.
If Elton makes a 45 cm how long would it burn?

Answer 1

If he makes candles of 15 cm, it burns for 6 hours.

So, we can write that

15 cm = 6 hours

If he makes a candle of 45 cm, for how many hours would it burn?

So, if 15 cm = 6 hours

45 cm = x hours

$15 / 45 = 6 / x$

$15 x = 45 * 6$

$x = 45 * 6 / 15$

$x = 3 * 6$

$x = 18$

Therefore, a candle of 45 cm will burn for 18 hours.

Thanks :)
