Give the step-by-step reasoning process and then the final answer. It takes 3 beehives to make enough wax to make 12 candles. How many hives does it take to make 96 candles?
User
First find the number of candles produced per hive: 12 candles / 3 hives = 4 candles / hive. 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 = 24 hives.
The final answer: 24.
