General Idea:
To find the Greatest Common Factor of binomial, we need to write each term as product of prime factors. GCF by definition means the product of common prime factors involved with its lowest terms. It is a number which will go in to both the terms in a binomial.
Given :
Applying the concept :
In order to get the expression inside the parenthesis after factoring GCF 5, we need to divide each term by what we factor out as shown below:
Answer:
The candle must burn at 2cm per hour in order to be 6cm tall after 4 hours. I know this because the candle has to burn 8cm in 4 hours and that amounts to 2cm per hour.
Step-by-step explanation:
Lets solve!
We have to find out how much of the candle needs to be burned!
14cm - 6cm = 8cm
The candle must burn 8cm in 4 hours!
Lets find out how much the candle burns in 1 hour.
= 2cm per hour
The candle must burn at 2cm per hour in order to be 6cm tall after 4 hours. I know this because the candle has to burn 8cm in 4 hours and that amounts to 2cm per hour.
Woohoo, We did it! <u>Would you like to mark my answer as brainliest?</u> I would love that!
