Answer:
16 ounces of clay he need.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Reggie had 2-pound bricks of clay and his job is to give 4 ounces of clay to each student.
There are total 28 students.
Now, to get how much ounces of clay does the each student have first we multiply the number of students to the number of ounces of clay.
Number of students × Number of ounces of clay:
[tex]28\times 4[/tex]
[tex]112[/tex]
Now, total amount of clay ounces Reggie had= 3×32=96 ounces. (1 pound = 16 ounces, 2 pound = 32 ounces.)
So, the total amount of clay he need is = [tex]112-96[/tex]
= [tex]16[/tex]
Therefore, 16 ounces of clay he need.
Answer:
Reggie requires 16 Ounces more clay.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Reggie took from shelf 3 of 2 pounds bricks of clay from shelf.
1 pound = 16 ounces
2 pounds = 32 ounces
Total Clay Reggie has in ounces = [tex]3\times 32\ ounces = 96 \ ounces[/tex]
Total Students in his class = 28 students
his job is to distribute 4 ounces of clay to each child
Total number of clay required for whole class in ounces = [tex]28\times4 = 112[/tex]
Remaining Amount of clay requires in ounces = Total number of clay required for whole class in ounces - Total Clay Reggie has in ounces = [tex]112 \ ounces - 96 \ ounces = 16 \ ounces[/tex]
Hence, Reggie requires 16 Ounces more clay to distribute among the whole class
