Megan has three candles of the same length to provide light. Candle A burns for exactly 72 minutes. Candle Burns twice as fast as Candle A. Candle C burns 3 times as fast as candle B. What is the greatest total number of minutes of light all three candles can provide?

Candle B: 36 minutes

Candle C: 12 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Since Candle A burns for 72, and Candle B burns twice as fast, we can divide the 72 by 2 in order to get the time it burns. We will then see that Candle B burns for 36 minutes.

Candle C burns 3 times as fast as candle B so we can divide the 36 minutes it takes for candle B to burn by 3 to get how long it takes Candle C to burn. We then see that it takes 12 minutes for candle C to burn.

Hope this helps!

e2020 got it right

d. millimeters per hour.

step-by-step explanation:

we are given that,

carlo used a rain gauge to measure the amount of water his lawn is receiving from the sprinklers.

since, according to the options, we see that,

water cannot be measured by 'miles per hour', 'meters per second' and 'grams per seconds'.

we get that, the water can be measured by 'millimeters per hour'.

hence, the appropriate rate for describing the amount of water is 'millimeters per hour'.
