Answer: Yes, Brad has enough oranges.

Explanation:

Given :

The orange required for one bowl = 12 oz

Thus orange required for 12 bowls =
(12)/(1)* 12=144oz

Oranges available with Brad for 12 bowls = 10 lb =
10* 16=160oz

(1lb=16oz)

As organges required is less than oranges available with Brad, thus Brad has enough oranges.
