Elizabeth went to the candy store and wanted to use the dimensional analysis she had learned in class that day. She only had a certain amount of money to spend. In terms of price, she figured out the following conversion factors: 2 lollipops = 8 gumballs 11 gumballs = 8 lemonheads 14 lemonheads = 16 redhots If Elizabeth knows she could buy 18 lollipops, how many redhots could she buy for the same amount of money?

Answer: 315,392

Step-by-step explanation: this took me some time but I multiplied multiple times each time and I got this I hope it’s correct.

Btw I multiplied 2 times 8 then multipled with 11 then multipied 172 times 8 then multiplied by 14 and got 19,712. Then, I multiplied 19,712 by 16 and got 315,392

I had to edit cause I miscalculated :/ anyways I hope this is correct
