candles

Respuesta :

Answer:

26 candles

Step-by-step explanation:

To find how many candles were made from the total wax used, we first have to calculate how much wax was used for a single candle.

To find the volume, multiply the length, width, and height of a candle.

5 · 3 · 10 = 150

The volume is 150 cm². A single candle uses 150 square centimeters of wax.

To calculate the candles made, then, divide the volume of a single candle by the total wax used, 3900 cm².

3900 ÷ 150 = 26

The company made 26 candles.
