Question

Elton is a candle maker.Each 15cm long candle he makes burns evenly for 6 hours

Answer 1

If he makes candles of 15 cm,it burns fast hours

So ,we can write that

15cm = 6 hours

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

So,if 16 cm = 6 hours

45cm = 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:)
