Traditionally, one candle equals 1 year of life, or one birthday. So 3 candles means 3 birthdays.
However, when people get beyond teen years, families often begin using number candles, example, a 1 and a 9 for 19th birthday. This reduces the number of candles a person must blow out. In some situations, though, people choose to use all the candles to denote a special honor, such as a person's 100th birthday.

The ratio of candles to years is 3 to 5 how many candles?
the ratio of candles to years is 3 to 5
What percent of 45 equals 15?
1/3 or 33.333333....333% of 45 equals 15. The reason this is so is because 45/3 is 15... or there is 15 + 15 + 15 = 45. If you have a full cake that is divided into 45 pieces and 15 pieces of the cake has not been eaten, what percentage of the cake is left? (This sort of idea) A third of the cake has been left because 30/45 or 2/3 of the cake has been eaten, therefore 1(one full cake) - 2/3 (eaten cake) = 1/3(leftover cake).
How do you put prime numbers in multiplication form?
To write prime numbers in multiplication form, you simply list them as factors multiplied together. For example, the prime factorization of 12 is 2 x 2 x 3, as 2 and 3 are prime numbers. Likewise, the prime factorization of 20 is 2 x 2 x 5.
If someone has 3 quarters of a cake and he gives away 2 thirds how much is left from the cake?
2/3 x 3/4 = 6/12 = 1/2 given away and 1/2 is left
What is bigger three fourths or three fifths?
3/4=75% . 3/6 - 60% . 3/4 is bigger than 3/5. It's like, if you went to a party and they had one big cake. You could split the cake into 4 or 5 pieces. If you take 3 parts from the cake split into 4 pieces, your 3 parts would be bigger than if you take 3 parts from the cake that is split into 5 pieces. ok i have 1 will bigger 3/4
