Short Answer

A candle burns as shown in the graph.
If the height of the candle is 8 centimetres, approximately how long has the candle been burning?
A 0 hours
B 24 minutes
C 64 minutes
D $5 \frac{1}{2}$ hours

If the height of the candle is 8 centimetres, the candle has been burning for $5 \frac{1}{2}$ hours approximately.

Therefore, the option D is correct.

Part a. Step 1. Observe the graph.

The graph is:

From the above graph it can be noticed that when the height of the candle is 8 centimetres, the time taken is $5 \frac{1}{2}$ hours approximately.

Part a. Step 2. Determine approximately how long has the candle been burning.

If the height of the candle is 8 centimetres, the candle has been burning for $5 \frac{1}{2}$ hours approximately.

Therefore, the option D is correct.
