You have to find a pattern

The table shows that the candle is melting. The candle was originally 16cm high and the other candle was 12cm high. After 1 hour passed, the first candle melted from 16cm to 13.5cm and the second one from 12cm to 10.5cm, so what was the amount that melted? Do the same thing for the next hours and find a pattern of how much is melted every hour. Then you get your answer.
