1 =.

5.

She gets 1.

5 ounces total from these candles because 5 x.

5 = 2.

5.

She gets.

1 ounces from each one ounce candle because 1 x.

1 =.

1.

She gets 2.

5 ounces from these candles because 25 x.

1 = 2.

5.

She gets 15 ounces total because 10 + 2.

5 + 2.

5 = 15.

She can make 3 candles because 15 / 5 = 3.

.

So, the final answer is 3
