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 candles can she make?

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

Jasmine has 8 packs of candle wax

Each pack contains 14 ounces of wax


so
Multiply 8 by 14 to find the total ounces of wax
8 ∗ 14 = 112 ounces

Jasmine uses 7 ounces of wax to make one candle

so
by proportion
1 7 ​ = x 112 ​ 7 x = 112 x = 16 candles
therefore
the answer is
** 16 candles**
