Question

Michael's mom loves Bright Scents candles. A 4-inch candle will burn for 8 hours. Michael bought his mom a 10-inch candle for Mother's Day. If Bright Scents candles all burn at the same rate, how many hours will the 10-inch candle burn?

Answer 1

4-inch candle burns for 8 min

4/8=1/2

so 1 inch of the candle burns for 2 min

10 inch will burn for 10 x 2 min

10 x 2 = 20 min

So,10-inch candle will burn for 20 minutes

Answer 2

Answer:

The 10-inch candle will burn 20 hours.
