Nina is making pink candles to use as decorations on Valentine's Day. She melts red and white wax together and pours them into a heart-shaped mould. Then, she melts double the amount of red wax and double the amount of white wax together and pours them into a flower-shaped mould. Which candle is a lighter shade of pink?

Answer:

Neither.

Explanation:

Originally, she used the same amount. For the second one, she used double the same amount, but it was still the amount of red wax as of white wax. So, they both had the same amount, which means it is neither.

Answer:

answer is neither, they are both the same shade.

Explanation:

if she doubled the colors exactly then it wouldn't be any different. Also IXL told me I'm right :)
