Carson just lit a new candle and then let it burn all the way down to nothing. The candle burned at a rate of 1.25 inches per hour and its initial length was 10 inches.
Make a table of values and then write an equation for L, in terms of t, representing
the length of the candle remaining unburned, in inches, t hours after the candle was
lit.
Number of Hours Burning Length of Candle Remaining (Inches)

Step-by-step explanation:

L = 10 - 1.25t

t = 1 ⇒ L = 10 - 1.25 = 8.75 inches

t = 2 ⇒ L = 10 - 1.25(2) = 7.5 inches

t = 3 ⇒ L = 10 - 1.25(3) = 6.25 inches

0.16 or 16%

step-by-step explanation:

lets take a coin for example.

if you toss it twice, it has a 1/4 chance of landing on heads both times because 1/2 * 1/2 is 1/4.

with the cards, the chance of picking dog is 0.4. having two people pick one is like picking a card twice in a row. so 0.4 * 0.4 is 0.16, or 16%
