The rate at which a candle burns in millimeters per minute is:
qualitative
theoretical
quantitative
hypothetical
sorry spelled my name wrong
What is your answer?
quantitative?
Correct.
Thank you Ms.Sue
i had the same question
To determine the rate at which a candle burns in millimeters per minute, we need to observe and measure the change in the candle's length over time. This involves conducting a quantitative experiment.
Quantitative refers to measurements or values that can be expressed numerically. In this case, we would measure the length of the candle at specified time intervals and calculate the rate at which it burns in millimeters per minute.
The other terms mentioned in the question are not directly related to measuring the rate at which a candle burns:
- Qualitative refers to observations based on qualities or characteristics, rather than numerical values. For example, describing the color or aroma of the candle would be qualitative.
- Theoretical refers to concepts, ideas, or predictions based on theories or models. This term does not involve direct measurement or observation.
- Hypothetical refers to something imagined or assumed, often used in the context of proposing a hypothetical scenario or making a theoretical guess. However, measuring the burn rate of a candle is based on real-world observation rather than hypothetical assumptions.
Therefore, the appropriate term to describe the process of determining the rate at which a candle burns in millimeters per minute is quantitative.
