Answer:
y = 22.5 - 0.2t
Step-by-step explanation:
Given;
total number of candle, n = 22.5 ounce
Rate of candle burn, R = 1 ounce per 5 hours [tex]= \frac{1 \ ounce}{5 \ hours} = 0.2 \ \frac{ounce}{hour}[/tex]
The amount of candle left = total initial value - amount burnt
let the amount let = y
y = 22.5 - 0.2t
where;
t is the time in which the candle is burnt
Thus, the equation for the amount of candle left is given by;
y = 22.5 - 0.2t
