Ared candle is 8 inches tall and burns at a rate of 7/10 inch per hour. a blue candle is 6 inches tall and burns at a rate of 1/5 inch per hour. after how many hours will both candles be the same height?

  4 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

The height of the red candle in inches can be modeled by ...

  h = 8 - (7/10)t

where t is the number of hours it burns.

Likewise, the height of the blue candle can be modeled by ...

  h = 6 - (1/5)t

The heights of the two candles will be the same when one expression for height is equal to the other.

  8 - (7/10)t = 6 - (1/5)t

  2 = t(7/10 - 1/5) . . . . . . . . . add (7/10)t -6

  2/(5/10) = t = 4 . . . . . . . . . divide by the coefficient of t

answer: .75 km

step-by-step explanation:

well what you have to do is divide 84 by 6 so theanswer

step-by-step explanation:

84 divided by 6 = 14
