Question

Help please I’m not sure how to solve it

Answer 1

Answer:

41

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume of one candle = 7 x 2 x 10 = 140 cm3

No. of candles = 5740 / 140 = 41

Rectangular prisms are just cuboids btw

Answer 2

Answer:

41 candles were made.

––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––

First of all, we need to find the volume of the rectangular prism with the information we're given:

L: 7cm

W: 2cm

H: 10cm

Formula (prism volume):

V = whl → V = (2)(7)(10) → V = (14)(10) → V = 140

Now, we divide the total volume of candles (wax) produced by the amount of wax that 1 candle contains, that way, we will find the number of candles produced:

5740 / 140 = 41
