Question

you purchased 8 pounds 10 ounces of candy from a candy shop. You want to split it equally among 3 classrooms at a local school.

Answer 1

Answer:

Each classroom gets exactly 46 oz.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find that, start by converting the amount to oz. We can do this by multiplying the amount of pounds by 16 and then adding the ounces.

8 * 16 = 128

128 + 10 = 138 oz

Now we can divide that amount by 3 to get the amount per classroom.

138/3 = 46 oz per classroom.
