Q. Nayeli lights a 4 m2 4 \mathrm{~m}^{2} space with 1212 candles. Citlali lights a 10 m2 10 \mathrm{~m}^{2} space with 3030 of the same type of candles.\newlineWhose space is lit brighter?\newlineChoose 11 answer:\newline(A) Nayeli's area\newline(B) Citlali's area\newline(C) The spaces are equally bright.
  1. Calculate Nayeli's brightness: To determine which space is lit brighter, we need to calculate the brightness per square meter for both Nayeli and Citlali. Brightness can be assumed to be directly proportional to the number of candles per square meter.\newlineFirst, calculate the brightness per square meter for Nayeli's space.\newlineBrightness for Nayeli = Number of candles / Area = 12 candles4m2=3 candles/m2\frac{12 \text{ candles}}{4m^2} = 3 \text{ candles/m}^2.
  2. Calculate Citlali's brightness: Now, calculate the brightness per square meter for Citlali's space.\newlineBrightness for Citlali = Number of candles / Area = 30 candles10m2\frac{30 \text{ candles}}{10m^2} = 3 candles/m23 \text{ candles/m}^2.
  3. Compare brightness of Nayeli and Citlali: Compare the brightness per square meter for both Nayeli and Citlali.\newlineSince both have a brightness of 3 candles/m23 \text{ candles/m}^2, the spaces are equally bright.
