Question

Aaron has three slabs of beeswax. He plans to melt them and use all of the wax to form 36 candles. If all the candles are the same size and weight, how much will each candle weigh?

Answer 1

Weight of slab of beeswax isn't given.

Assume slab of beeswax = 36 gram.

Answer:

3 gram

Step-by-step explanation:

Each slab of beeswax = 36 gram

Total weight of all 3 slabs = (3 * 36) = 108 g

Number of same-sized candles to make = 36

The weight of each candle will be ;

Total weight of slabs / number of candles

108 g / 36

= 3 grams
