    The answer is 1/20 simplified or 8/160 not simplified.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    All you do is put the amount of wax you use for one candle as the numerator and the total amount of wax in the bag as the denominator: 8/160.

    Then simplify. 8 can go into 160 twenty times and once into 8. So the new, simplified fraction is 1/20.
