  1. I suspect a typo: 80 should be 90.
    If so, then clearly, the burn time is just 15 times the height.

    You don't say whether the time is in hours or minutes. I suspect minutes, but that will require quite a tall candle, if you figure out how many minutes there are in 3 days.

  2. Judging by the choices, I guess the burn time is in hours. So, you want the height

    h = 3*24/15
