To find out how many candles Jasmine can make, we need to divide the total amount of candle wax she has by the amount of wax she uses for each candle.
Given that Jasmine has eight packs of candle wax and each pack contains 14 ounces of wax, we can calculate the total wax she has by multiplying the number of packs by the amount of wax in each pack:
Total wax = 8 packs * 14 ounces/pack
Total wax = 112 ounces
Next, we can divide the total wax by the amount of wax Jasmine uses for each candle:
Number of candles = Total wax / Wax per candle
Number of candles = 112 ounces / 7 ounces/candle
Number of candles = 16 candles
Therefore, Jasmine can make 16 candles with the amount of wax she has.
