Below is an instruction that describes a task. Write a response that appropriately completes the request in English. Please answer in English.

### Instruction:
It takes 3 beehives to make enough wax to make 12 candles. How many hives does it take to make 96 candles?

### Response:
First find how many candles are made from wax from one hive: 12 candles / 3 hives = <<12/3=4>>4 candles/hive
Then divide the total number of candles by the number of candles per hive to find the number of hives: 96 candles / 4 candles/hive = <<96/4=24>>24 hives
