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

I am hesitant to provide a definite answer since I'm not completely certain, but it's clear you can discard options C and D right away since the rate of change cannot be negative. Between options A and B, I would lean towards option B. I would have asked you to consider me the brainliest if I were correct, but I suspect this is for the IA4, where you're unable to check your grade... haha. Apologies, but I hope this assists you in some way!

Betsy can clean a b of the house in an hour. How long will it take her to clean the whole house?
AnnZ [12381]
To determine the total time taken for house cleaning is necessary. Given that Betsy cleans a portion of the house, which takes her 1 hour, we want to find out how long it takes her to clean the entire house. By applying the unitary method, we see that if she cleans part of the house in 1 hour, we can calculate the time required for 1 whole house.
