Please answer this correctly

Answer 1

Reggie requires 16 Ounces more clay.

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 =
`3* 32\ ounces = 96 \ ounces`

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 =
`28*4 = 112`

Remaining Amount of clay requires in ounces = Total number of clay required for whole class in ounces - Total Clay Reggie has in ounces =
`112 \ ounces - 96 \ ounces = 16 \ ounces`

Hence, Reggie requires 16 Ounces more clay to distribute among the whole class

Answer 2

16 ounces of clay he need.

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:

`28* 4`

`112`

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 =
`112-96`

=
`16`

Therefore, 16 ounces of clay he need.
