To determine how many wax warmers Mrs. Jones makes when she makes 77 candles, we first need to know the ratio of candles to wax warmers from the table. Although the specific ratio isn't provided in your message, I can show you how to solve it with a general ratio format.
Assuming the ratio of candles to wax warmers is:
\[
\text{Candles} : \text{Wax Warmers} = a : b
\]
where \(a\) is the number of candles and \(b\) is the number of wax warmers.
If Mrs. Jones makes 77 candles, you can set up a proportion to find the number of wax warmers (\(x\)):
\[
\frac{a}{b} = \frac{77}{x}
\]
By cross-multiplying, you get:
\[
a \cdot x = 77 \cdot b
\]
From here, solve for \(x\):
\[
x = \frac{77 \cdot b}{a}
\]
Now plug in the values from the ratio (once you have them) for \(a\) and \(b\) to figure out \(x\), the number of wax warmers.
If you provide the specific ratio from the table, I can help you compute the exact answer.
