-inch candle burns down in 5 hours. Assuming the candles are the same thickness and make (that is, directly proportional), how long would it take a 1-inch candle to burn down?

Time is proportional to length. Let t be the burn time for the 1-inch candle.

t / 5 = 1 / (1 1/4) = 1 / 1.25 = 0.8, so t = 5 × 0.8 = 4 hours.
