Given situation:
=> There is a red candle that measures 11 2/5 inches tall. There is a label claiming that the candle will melt 1 1/8 inches every hour. Then, let’s say that the label is correct.
Solve for how many hour will the red candle lasts.
Solution:
=> 11 2/5 = 11.01
=> 1 1/8 = 1.125
Let’s divide
=> 11.01 / 1.125
=> 9.8 hours. Thus the red candle will last for approximately 9.8 hours or rounded off to 10 hours.
