Question

Jonah is making candles to give his teacher and principal on the last day of school. For his teacher's candle, Jonah melts 4 ounces of white wax and 12 ounces of blue wax together and pours them into a large mold. For his principal's candle, he melts 2 ounces of white wax and 6 ounces of blue wax together and pours them into a small mold. Which candle is a lighter shade of blue?

Answer 1

Answer:

They are the same shade.

Explanation:

if you multiply 2 and 6 by 2 you get 4 and 12

2x2=4

6x2=12

so they are even but one candle is just smaller than the other
