Answer:

80 white candles

Step-by-step explanation:

I use a way that makes it easy for me

2:5 means [tex]\frac{2}{5}[/tex]

so when you write [tex]\frac{2}{5} =[/tex][tex]\frac{32}{x}[/tex]

that means you do the cross multiplication method which makes the equation go that way:

[tex]2x=32*5[/tex]

so

[tex]2x=160\\x= 80[/tex]
