First, we need to determine the number of defective candles that Anjali's mother found among the 240 candles. Given that [tex]\(\frac{1}{12}\)[/tex] of the candles were defective, we can calculate this as follows:

1. Calculate the number of defective candles:

[tex]\[ \text{Number of defective candles} = \frac{1}{12} \times 240 \][/tex]

We know that [tex]\(\frac{1}{12}\)[/tex] of 240 candles is 20.0 defective candles.

2. Calculate the number of candles that were not defective (candles used):

To find the number of candles Anjali's mother used, we subtract the number of defective candles from the total number of candles:

[tex]\[ \text{Number of candles used} = 240 - 20.0 \][/tex]

Subtracting, we get 220.0 candles used.

So, the number of defective candles is 20.0, and the number of candles used by Anjali’s mother is 220.0.
