Step-by-step explanation:

its right

Answer 2

$\bf \textit{volume of a cone}\\\\ V=\cfrac{\pi r^2 h}{3}~~ \begin{cases} r=radius\\ h=height\\[-0.5em] \hrulefill\\ r=1.5\\ h=5 \end{cases}\implies V=\cfrac{\pi (1.5)^2(5)}{3}\implies V=\cfrac{11.25\pi }{3} \\\\\\ V= 3.75\pi \implies V\approx 11.78~cm^3\qquad \leftarrow \textit{for one candle} \\\\\\ \stackrel{\textit{how many times does 11.78 go into 301.59?}}{301.59\div 11.78\implies 26}\qquad \leftarrow \textit{rounded up}$
