Weekly Challenge
December 10-14, 2001
This week is Hanukkah and a time
to light candles on the menorah for eight straight days. I asked
my friend to watch the candle she lit last night. She said her candle
was 6 inches long and it burned half an inch every 15 minutes. At
that rate, how long would it take for the candle to completely burn down.
Show your work.
