One night two cylindrical wax candles of different heights and different diameters were lit. One of the candles was $20 \mathrm{cm}$ taller than the other. They were both lit at the same time and each burned at a steady rate. Five hours after they were lit they were both the same height. The taller one burned all of its wax six hours after it was lit, and the shorter one burned all of its wax 10 hours after it was lit. What was the ratio of the original height of the shorter candle to the original height of the taller candle

the 3rd on is correct

step-by-step explanation:

answer: solve 5\cdot 2^x=2405⋅2  

x

=2405, dot, 2, start superscript, x, end superscript, equals, 240.

solution

to solve for xxx, we must first isolate the exponential part. to do this, divide both sides by 555 as shown below. we do not multiply the 555 and the 222 as this goes against the order of operations!

\begin{aligned} 5\cdot 2^x& =240 2^x& =48 \\ \end{aligned}  

5⋅2
