Jasmine has 8 packs of candle wax to make scented candles. Each pack contains 14 ounces of wax.Jasmine uses 7 ounces of wax to make one candle. how many candes can she make? This is important my sister needs the answer!!!!!!

Sagot :

15. because 8 multiplied by 14 is 112. she uses 7 ounces which now she has 105 ounces left. so now since one candle is 7 ounces you divide 105 by 7 and the answer is 15.

we know that


1) Jasmine has [tex] 8 [/tex] packs of candle wax

2) Each pack contains [tex] 14 [/tex] ounces of wax

so

Multiply [tex] 8 [/tex] by [tex] 14 [/tex] to find the total ounces of wax

[tex] 8*14=112 [/tex] ounces


3) Jasmine uses [tex] 7 [/tex] ounces of wax to make one candle

so

by proportion

[tex] \frac{7}{1} =\frac{112}{x} \\ 7x=112\\ x=16 [/tex] candles
