Answer: There are 32 candles in the small box.
Step-by-step explanation:
Since we have given that
Size of small box= 2 ounces
Size of large box = 6 ounces
Number of candles in large box = 96,
We need to find the number of candles in the small box ,
As there is direct variation between the small box and large box ,
let the number of candles in the small box be x
So,
[tex]\frac{96}{6}=\frac{x}{2}\\\\16=\frac{x}{2}\\\\16\times 2=x\\\\32=x[/tex]
so, there are 32 candles in the small box.
