Answer 1

112 candles

Explanation:

We can simply add up the 5 numbers of candles, or we can take advantage of the invention of multiplication to replace repeated addition. The number of candles altogether is the sum of the numbers of candles in each of the 5 boxes.

16 + 4×24 = 16 +96 = 112

The total number of candles is 112.
