Question

A company makes wax candles shaped like rectangular prisms. Each candle is 7cm long, 2cm wide, and 10cm tall. If they used 5740cm^3 of wax, how many candles did they make?

Answer 1

Answer: 41 candles

Explanation:

Multiply the dimensions of the candle first.

V = l*w*h

7 * 2 = 14

14 * 10 = 140

Now, divide the total amount of wax used by the amount of wax used for one candle.

5,740 / 140 = 41
