Question

Stacey is making candles to sell at the craft fair. She has 5 pounds of wax to make the candles. She needs 18 pound of wax for 1 candle. How many candles can Stacey make?

Answer 1

Explanation:

To determine how much wax you will need, you will first need to decide on ... (ounces needed) ÷ 16 (ounces in 1 pound) = (pounds of wax needed). For example, let's say you wanted to make 25 candles in our 8 oz Candle Tins ... 5 x 25 = 125 oz of wax ... It's always better to have a little wax left over than to not have enough!
