Triangle QPR is graphed on the coordinate plane below.
Triangle QPR is dilated by a scale factor of 1/2 with a center of dilation at the origin, resulting in triangle Q'P'R'. What are the coordinates of vertex R'?

A camper lights an oil lantern at 12 noon and lets it burn continuously. Once the lantern is lit, the lantern burns oil at a constant rate each hour. At 2 p.m., the amount of oil left in the lantern is 63 ounces. At 5 p.m., the amount of oil left in the lantern is 61\frac{1}{2} ounces. Based on the average rate of oil burning per hour, how much oil, in ounces, was in the lantern at 12 noon?
