Next, divide the total weight burned by the number of hours the candle was burned for. This calculation will provide you with the hourly burn rate.

To find the total number of hours the candle will burn, simply divide the original weight of the candle by the hourly burn rate. This will give you the overall lifespan of the candle in terms of burning hours.

To calculate the hourly burn rate of a candle, one must first determine the weight lost during the burning process.

Start by subtracting the post-burn weight of the candle from its original weight. This will give you the total weight that has been burned off.
