There are seven dozen candles kept in a box. If there are 14 such boxes, how…

Concept: One dozen equals 12 units. When a quantity is distributed evenly across several equal groups, the total is found by multiplying the quantity per group by the number of groups.

Application:

1. Convert dozens to individual candles: one box has 7 dozen candles = 7 × 12 = 84 candles.

2. Multiply the per-box count by the number of boxes: 84 × 14 = 1176 candles.

Cross-check: Multiplying in the other order gives the same total: 7 × 14 = 98 dozen, and 98 × 12 = 1176 candles, confirming the result.

Result: There are 1176 candles in all the boxes together.
