Answer:
15 candles and 6.72 ounces left over.
Step-by-step explanation:
Jerod has the amount of beeswax = 132.72 ounces
Jerod is making candles from beeswax.
one candle uses the amount of beeswax = 8.4 ounces
Total candles can be made from total beeswax =
= 15.8
With 132.72 ounces wax 15 candles were made.
In order to calculate the left over wax we calculate the amount is used in 15 candles
= 8.4 × 15 = 126 ounces
Left over wax = 132.72 - 126 = 6.72 ounces
Therefore, 15 candles can be made and 6.72 ounces wax would be left over.
