Problem that could be on the test:
A store sells two kinds of candles, scented and unscented. The scented burn
1/12 inches in 20 mins. The unscented burns 1/16 inches in 30 mins. Which
type of candle burns in 1 Hour and what is its burn rate?
60 Minutes = 1 Hour
Scented Candle
- 20 Minutes in an hour goes 3 Times (20+20+20=60)
- 1/12 *3 = 3/12 – You got to simplify so it will be ¼
Unscented Candle
- 30 Minutes in an hour goes 2 times (30+30=60)
- 1/16 *2 = 2/16 – You got to simplify so it will be 1/8
The answer will be the scented candle burn in 1 hour and its burn rate is
