How many candies did they make?

1 answer

To find the volume of each candle, we multiply the length, width, and height: 6 cm * 5 cm * 14 cm = 420 cm^3.

If the company used 4620 cm^3 of wax, we divide the total volume of wax used by the volume of each candle: 4620 cm^3 / 420 cm^3/candle = 11 candles.

Therefore, the company made 11 candles.
