Sylvia has3/4 of a yard of paper to wrap candles. If it takes 1/8 of a yard of paper to wrap each candle, how many candles can Sylvia wrap? Create a fraction model.

Solution:
1. Determine how many candles can be wrapped by dividing the total paper by the paper required per candle.
- Total paper: \frac{3}{4} yard
- Paper per candle: \frac{1}{8} yard
- Number of candles = Total paper / Paper per candle = \frac{3}{4} \div \frac{1}{8}

2. To divide fractions, multiply by the reciprocal:
- \frac{3}{4} \div \frac{1}{8} = \frac{3}{4} \times \frac{8}{1}

3. Simplify the multiplication:
- Numerator: 3 \times 8 = 24
- Denominator: 4 \times 1 = 4
- Resulting fraction: \frac{24}{4}

4. Simplify the fraction:
- \frac{24}{4} = 6

So, Sylvia can wrap 6 candles.
