    Since the lyla deleted it actually for a good reason let me explain. But you dont just delete random answers, you can give a comment. I can report you for doing that.

    So since it burns at 1.3 per hour. Notice that since it gets removed per hour. so it would be 1.3t so it multiplies per hour. Then we need to subtract. Thats because it lowers the length of the candle. So we get the original length - 17 and get the function

    f (t) = 17-1.3t
