Verified Answer :

  1. because 8 multiplied by 14 is 112. she uses 7 ounces which now she has 105 ounces left. so now since one candle is 7 ounces you divide 105 by 7 and the answer is 15.
calculista

we know that


1) Jasmine has \(8\) packs of candle wax

2) Each pack contains \(14\) ounces of wax

so

Multiply \(8\) by \(14\) to find the total ounces of wax

\(8*14=112\) ounces


3) Jasmine uses \(7\) ounces of wax to make one candle

so

by proportion

\(\frac{7}{1} =\frac{112}{x} \\ 7x=112\\ x=16\) candles


therefore


the answer is

\(16\) candles
