Answer:

y = 22.5 - 0.2t

Step-by-step explanation:

The given information includes;

total weight of the candle, n = 22.5 ounces

Candle burn rate, R = 1 ounce every 5 hours $= \frac{1 \ ounce}{5 \ hours} = 0.2 \ \frac{ounce}{hour}$

The remaining candle amount is calculated as initial amount minus burnt amount

Let the remaining amount be y

y = 22.5 - 0.2t

where;

t represents the time the candle has been burning

Therefore, the equation for the leftover candle is expressed as;

y = 22.5 - 0.2t

You ride your bicycle 40 meters. How many complete revolutions does the front wheel make?

Inessa [12570]

Initially, we convert the given radius of the wheel into meters, resulting in 0.325 m. Next, we compute the circumference.
C = 2πrr
By inserting the values,
C = 2π(0.325 m) = 2.04 m
Given a distance of 40 m for the road, we calculate the total number of complete revolutions as follows:
n = 40/2.04 m = 20.

babunello [11817]

Answer: After the withdrawal, Rajan's bank balance will be

6150 RS - 2050 RS = 4100 RS

Step-by-step explanation:

Initially, Rajan had 6000 RS in his bank account about a week ago. This indicates that the initial balance he possessed is 6000 RS.

One week later, he credited 150p RS to his account.

Thus, the current total in his account is

= 6000 RS + 150p RS = 6150 RS.

The following day, he withdrew one-third of his total balance. Therefore, the amount withdrawn is

1/3 × 6150 = 6150/3 = 2050 RS

After the withdrawal, his remaining balance in the bank will be the new total minus the amount withdrawn.

His remaining balance in the bank account post-withdrawal will be

6150 RS - 2050 RS = 4100 RS
