Question

Shiloh wants to buy a long lasting candle. Type 1 candle melts by 19.5 cm each hour. Type 2 candle melts by 0.15 inch each minute. Both the candles have the same original height.

[1 inch = 2.54 cm
Part B: If the original height of the candles was 40 cm, and you checked on its height every 30 minutes after lighting it, describe appropriate scales on the x-axis and y-axis to graph the rate at which the slower candle melts. (5 points

Answer 1

so, first you need to convert all your measurements to the same scale (metric)

Answer 2

Cm and inches ?

Answer 3

so convert the one in inches to cm

Answer 4

and you'll also want to divide 19.5 by 60 to discover the rate per minute

Answer 5

then you'll graph according to the points you find when your data is all on the same format

Answer 6

22.86 cm per hr

Answer 7

0.325 in per min

Answer 8

@only_hanaaa

Answer 12

this is your scale 1 inch = 2.54 cm

Answer 13

But how do I put it in the form of x and y ? Like for x should I put 15 minutes I'm highly confused . Any help ? @only_hanaaa

Answer 14

since you already converted your meausments you should prob use x for the time and y for the height

Answer 15

So can It go by 15 min for x and 6cm for height ? @only_hanaaa

Answer 16

correct

Answer 17

Could you help with one more

Jane poured 12 cups of water into a rectangular container measuring 12 inches by 8 inches by 9 centimeters.

[1 cup = 14.44 cubic inches; 1 inch = 2.54 cm]

Part A: What is the maximum volume of water that the rectangular container can hold? Show your work. (3 points)

Part B: How many cubic inches of water was poured into the container? (3 points)

Part C: What was the height of the water in the container? Show your work. (4 points) @only_hanaaa

Answer 18

I only need part c

Answer 19

sure, for part c you need to find the height of the water in the container...you need to convert the "12 inches by 8 inches by 9 centimeters" into the cups measurement

Answer 20

using [1 cup = 14.44 cubic inches; 1 inch = 2.54 cm] conversion

Answer 21

So 9 cm= 22.86 in

Answer 22

yes, and now you convert the 22.86 in into cups using 1 cup = 14.44 cubic inches

Answer 23

1.58 cups ??

Answer 24

yes

Answer 25

now you need to convert the other measurements into cups and then you add them up, and you get your height of water in cups

Answer 26

So 2.96 ?? @only_hanaaa

Answer 27

yep
