A candle maker is ordering wax. Each small candle uses 12 ounces of wax. Each large candle uses 18 ounces of wax. The candle maker wants to make 42 small candles and 38 large candles.
Which answer is the most reasonable estimate of the total amount of wax needed?
700 ounces because 10 × 40 + 10 × 30 = 700
800 ouces because 10 × 20 + 20 × 30 = 800
1,200 ounces because 10 × 40 + 20 × 40 = 1,200
1,800 ounces because 10 × 20 + 40 × 40 = 1,800
