Question

A candle maker adds lemon oil to wax to make the lemon-scented candle shown. How many ounces of oil will he need for the candle to have 0.0025 ounces of oil per cubic centimeter of wax.

Answer 1

Answer:

The ounces of oil needed is 5 ounces of oil

Step-by-step explanation:

The first thing to do here is to calculate the volume of the lemon-scented candle given.

Looking at shape the volume can be calculated using the formula L * B * H

where L(length) = 10cm , B(breadth) = 8cm and Height(h) = 25cm

The volume V is thus = 10 * 8 * 25 = 2,000 cm^3

The ounces of oil needed for the candle to have 0.0025 ounces of oil per cm^3 of wax will be = The volume of the lemon-scented candle * 0.0025 ounces of oil per cm^3 of wax

That will be = 0.0025 * 2,000 = 5 ounces
