Question 1078489: Una recently purchased two boxes of ten-inch candles — one box from a discount store,
and the other from an expensive boutique. It so happens that the inexpensive candles last
only three hours each, while the expensive candles last five hours each. One evening, Una
hosted a dinner party and lighted two candles — one from each box — at 7:30 pm. During

this observation made? Answer by josgarithmetic(39625) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
