Question

A candle burns at a rate of 3/8 inches per hour. If a candle is 6 inches tall, what will be the remaining height of the candle after 4 hours?

Answer 1

about 4.5 inches will be remaining.

Answer 2

This can be made into
6-3/8x
Where x is the amount of hours
So if it’s 4 hours we do
6-3/8(4)
3/8*4 is 1.5
So we get
6-1.5
Which is
4.5 inches remaining
