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.

[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
