An ice sculpture is melting from the heat. Assuming it's height changes by -5/32 meters every hour, what will the change in height be after 4 hours?

Verified Answer :

-5/32(4) = -20/32 reduces to -5/8 meters in 4 hrs

Answer:

\(-\frac{5}{8}\)

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that an ice sculpture  is melting from the heat.

We have to find the change in height after 4 hours

Height of ice sculpture changes in one  hour=-\(\frac{5}{32}\) m

In order to find the height change in 4 hours then we will multiply 4 with \(-\frac{5}{32}\).

The height change after 4 hours=\(4\times(-\frac{5}{32})\)

The height change after 4 hours=\(-\frac{5}{8}\)

Hence,the height after 4 hours=\(-\frac{5}{8}\)
