Anew candle is 12 inches tall. it burn at a rate of 0.75 inches an hour. how tall will it be after 4.6 hours?

8.55 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use the slope intercept form to write this equation

y = mx+b where m is the lope and b is the y intercept

The y intercept, b, is how tall the candle is when we start, 12 inches

The slope is the rate at which it is burning or -.75  (the negative is because it is burning or getting smaller)

y = -.75x+12

or rewriting

t = 12-.75h  where h is the hours and t is how tall

We are burning for 4.6 hours

t = 12-.75(4.6)

t = 12 -3.45

t= 8.55

for a it would be 24 children.
