Answer 1

Answer:

She will have 8 ounces of cornstarch left

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that there is a 5-pound bucket of cornstarch, and 18 students are to get 4 ounces each.

The total of 4 * 18 = 72 ounces will be given to them

what is left is:

5 pounds - 72 ounces

But 1 pound = 16 ounces

5 pounds = 5 * 16 ounces

= 80 ounces

Therefore, what is left is:

80 - 72 = 8 ounces
