It takes 3 beehives to make enough wax to make 12 candles. How many hives does it take to make 96 candles?
assistant
How many candles are produced per hive? ** First find the number of candles produced per hive: 12 candles / 3 hives = <<12/3=4>>4 candles/hive
How many hives does it take to make 96 candles? ** Then divide the total number of candles by the number of candles per hive to find the number of hives: 96 candles / 4 candles/hive = <<96/4=24>>24 hives
