The rate at which a candle burns in millimeters per minute is:

qualitative

theoretical

quantitative

hypothetical

Assuming the rate was determined by observation, then since it involves measured numbers, it is quantitative

Now, if the rate was calculated from physical properties, it'd probably be more theoretical.

okay, thank you, sorry i was slow to respond i had to go somewhere. but thank you.

hey steve can you help me on the other question i just posted?

To determine the rate at which a candle burns in millimeters per minute, we would need to conduct an experiment and make measurements. This type of information is quantitative because it involves numerical data.

Qualitative data refers to observations that involve qualities or characteristics, such as the color or smell of the candle. Theoretical data refers to information that is based on theory or speculation, rather than actual measurements. Hypothetical data refers to data that is based on hypothetical scenarios or assumptions, rather than real-world observations.

In this case, to obtain the quantitative data of the burning rate of the candle, you would need to follow these steps:

1. Obtain a candle and a ruler or measuring tape.
2. Light the candle and start a timer.
3. Position the ruler vertically next to the candle, measuring from the base to the flame.
4. Take periodic measurements at set intervals, such as every minute, to observe the height of the candle as it burns.
5. Record the measurements in millimeters for each time interval.
6. Repeat the process multiple times to ensure accuracy and consistency.
7. Calculate the burning rate by dividing the change in height (in millimeters) by the time interval (in minutes).

By following these steps and measuring the change in height over time, you can determine the rate at which the candle burns in millimeters per minute, providing you with quantitative data.
