how many nights will you have candles to burn?

One whole candle can be made from 4 candle stubs, left in the candle-holder after the candles burn down. If each candle burns down to a stub after one night and if you have purchased 16 candles, then for how many nights will you have candles to burn?

Answer #1

dont listen to this guy… cause he obviously doesn’t know math either… its 21 days 16 candles burnt would make 16 stubs… since 4 stubs make 1 candle devide 16 by 4 which is 4.. since it took 16 days to burn those 16 and then 4 to burn the others its 20. but then you have to add the stub of the 4 together to make 1 more candle which takes 1 more day which equals to 21.. trust me on this

Answer #2
