You purchased 8 pounds 10 ounces of candy shop you want to split it equally among 3 classrooms at a local school. How much should each classroom receive
Given than 1 pound = 16 ounces, we have a total of 8*16 + 10 = 138 ounces which we must devide among the 3 classrooms. This gives us 138/3 = 46 ounces per classroom, or 2 pounds and 14 ounces per classroom.
