I'm trying to figure out how to calculate the burn time for something. I need to know the steps or formula to determine how long it will take for a specific item to burn completely.

    To calculate the hourly burn rate of a candle, one must first determine the weight loss after burning.

    This is achieved by subtracting the post-burn weight from the candle's original weight.

    Once this weight loss is established, the next step is to divide this value by the number of hours the candle has been burning.

    The result of this division provides the hourly burn rate, which indicates how much weight the candle loses per hour.

    With the hourly burn rate known, one can then predict the total burning time of the candle.
