Beeswax used in making candles is produced by honeybees. The honeybees produce 7 pounds of honey for each pound of wax they produce. How many pounds of honey is produced if 145 pounds of beeswax is made?

145 pounds of beeswax multiplied by 7 pounds of honey needed for 1 pound of beeswax.

145*7= 1015 pounds of total honey needed.
