Ответ:
Candle B: 36 minutes
Candle C: 12 minutes
Step-by-step explanation:
Since Candle A burns for 72, and Candle B burns twice as fast, we can divide the 72 by 2 in order to get the time it burns. We will then see that Candle B burns for 36 minutes.
Candle C burns 3 times as fast as candle B so we can divide the 36 minutes it takes for candle B to burn by 3 to get how long it takes Candle C to burn. We then see that it takes 12 minutes for candle C to burn.
Hope this helps!
