17 wax cubes with volume of 27 cm³ each would be needed to make the candle with a volume of 452.16 cm³

What is an equation?

An equation is an expression that shows the relationship between two or more numbers and variables.

Volume of cylinder = π * radius² * height

Volume = π * 4² * 9 cm = 452.16 cm³

Volume of the cube = 3 cm * 3 cm * 3 cm = 27 cm³

Number of cubes needed = 452.16 cm³ / 27 cm³ = 16.75
